SoundHound AI CPO/Director James Hom Receives 400,000 RSUs

What Happened James Hom, Chief Product Officer and a director of SoundHound AI, was granted 400,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) on July 30, 2026. The award is reported as an "A" (award/grant) with a reported acquisition price of $0 (no cash changed hands). The RSUs vest in 36 equal monthly installments, so shares will be issued gradually as the units vest rather than immediately.

Key Details

• Transaction date: July 30, 2026 (grant date corrected from July 31 in an amendment).
• Security/amount: 400,000 restricted stock units; reported acquisition price $0.
• Vesting: 36 equal monthly installments (monthly vesting over 3 years).
• Amendment: This is a Form 4/A filed Sep 17, 2026 amending the Form 4 filed Aug 3, 2026 to correct the grant date and to include 764 shares acquired in May 2026 through the company’s 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided data beyond the included 764 ESPP shares and the granted 400,000 RSUs (RSUs convert to shares as they vest).
• Transaction type: Award (not an open-market purchase or sale) — generally a compensation/retention action, not an immediate bullish or bearish trade signal.

Context RSU grants are a common form of executive compensation meant to align management with shareholder interests over time; because these RSUs vest monthly over three years, they represent future potential shares rather than an immediate change in tradable share count. No sale, exercise, or 10b5-1 plan is reported in this filing. The amendment corrects administrative details and adds prior ESPP-acquired shares; it does not itself indicate a change in the nature of the award.
