Biebuyck Olivier 4

What Happened
Olivier Biebuyck, President of Fab Tech at ESAB Corporation (ESAB), received two restricted stock unit (RSU) awards on February 26, 2026 totaling 9,627 RSUs (2,152 and 7,475). The awards are recorded at $0.00 (typical for RSU grants) — they represent a contingent right to receive shares in the future rather than an immediate purchase of stock.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-26; Form 4 filed 2026-03-02 (filed within the SEC two-business-day window).
• Awards: 2,152 RSUs and 7,475 RSUs, aggregate 9,627 RSUs; grant price shown as $0.00.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in the filing.
• Footnotes: F1 — each RSU converts to one share on vesting; F2 — RSUs vest in three equal annual installments on the first day of the month following each of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd anniversaries of the grant. F3 in the filing describes a similar three-year vesting for option awards (no option grant lines are shown for Biebuyck in this report).
• Transaction type: Award/Grant (compensation), not an open-market purchase or sale.

Context
RSUs are a form of equity compensation that convert to shares if and when they vest; they do not represent an immediate cash outlay by the insider. Such grants are common for executive compensation and indicate alignment with shareholders over the vesting period, but they are not the same signal as an outright purchase of shares. Retail investors should watch the vesting schedule and any later Form 4s for actual share deliveries or subsequent sales.
