LEVI Director Robert Eckert Receives Stock Awards

What Happened

Robert Eckert, a director of Levi Strauss & Co. (LEVI), was granted equity awards on May 6, 2026. He was issued 355 shares as an award (no cash paid) and 274 derivative awards (DERs) that represent contingent rights to receive shares upon settlement.

Context

This was an equity award/grant to a director (not a purchase or sale). Awards and DERs are commonly used for director compensation; they do not necessarily signal buying or selling intent by the insider.
DERs are not immediate shares—they are contingent rights that convert to shares when settled and may be subject to deferral, so the economic or voting impact occurs later.
