Schoch Martin C. 4

What Happened
Martin C. Schoch, EVP of Supply Chain at B&G Foods (BGS), was granted 34,583 shares of restricted stock on March 25, 2026 (award transaction). On the same date, 14,130 previously issued restricted shares vested and the company withheld 4,840 of those shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations (disposition), at an indicated withholding value of $5.11 per share (total $24,732). The new 34,583-share grant carries no purchase price and vests one‑third each March 25 in 2027, 2028 and 2029.

Context
Restricted stock awards are compensation, not market purchases — the grant itself is not a bullish market buy. The withheld shares are routine tax withholding upon vesting (not an open-market sale by the insider). No option exercises or open-market purchases/sales by Mr. Schoch are indicated in this filing.
