Key Details
- Transaction date: July 3, 2026; Form 4 filed July 7, 2026 (timely — filed on the second business day after the transaction).
- Grant size and price: 50,000 RSUs; reported acquisition price $0.00.
- Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in the provided filing.

Context
- RSUs are a common form of long-term compensation and do not represent an open-market purchase or sale. They become actual shares only as they vest; their eventual value depends on Bark’s future stock price. This award is a compensation grant rather than a direct signal of buying or selling by the insider.
