Jenkins Robert M 4

What Happened
Robert M. Jenkins, Executive Vice President and COO of Essential Properties Realty Trust, Inc. (EPRT), was granted 165 shares as an award on April 14, 2026. The reported transaction is an award/grant (code A) with an acquisition price of $0.00, so the immediate cash value reported is $0. This grant represents an adjustment to previously issued performance-based RSUs granted in 2023 and is subject to vesting conditions.

Context
This was an RSU award/adjustment, not a market purchase or sale—there was no cash paid and no immediate sale of shares. Performance-based RSUs vest only if specified conditions are met (here, dividend-related conditions through year-end 2026), so this does not reflect an immediate change in Jenkins’ tradable holdings or a direct buy/sell signal. Such awards are typically part of executive compensation and should be interpreted as compensation adjustments rather than explicit indicators of short-term insider sentiment.
