What Happened

• Rebecca Martinez O'Mara, a director of Kadant Inc. (KAI), received 128 shares on July 4, 2026 via the partial vesting/delivery of a restricted stock unit (RSU) award. The Form 4 shows an exercise/conversion (derivative code M) for 128 shares (acquired) and a corresponding disposal line for 128 shares at $0.00. The filing does not report any cash proceeds from these entries.

Key Details

• Transaction date: July 4, 2026 (reported on Form 4 filed July 6, 2026).
• Reported prices: acquisition listed as N/A; disposal listed at $0.00 (no cash proceeds shown).
• Shares involved: 128 shares acquired/converted and 128 shares disposed (per Form 4 lines).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnote: The activity represents partial vesting and delivery under an RSU award agreement dated March 11, 2026; the remainder vests in equal installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter in 2026, subject to continued service as a director.
• Filing timeliness: Filed July 6, 2026 for a July 4 transaction — appears timely (Form 4 is generally due within two business days for directors).

Context

• The Form 4 uses derivative/option-conversion codes but the footnote clarifies this was RSU vesting and share delivery rather than an open-market buy or sale. Such deliveries are routine compensation/events for insiders and do not by themselves indicate a buying or selling decision in the market.
