Ducena Ruth 4

What Happened
Ducena Ruth, Chief Legal Officer of NIQ Global Intelligence plc (NIQ), received an award of 51,975 restricted share units (RSUs) on July 1, 2026. The RSUs were granted at a $0.00 per-share acquisition price (i.e., no cash purchase) and represent a contingent right to one ordinary share per RSU. The award is not a purchase or sale — it’s a compensation grant subject to vesting.

Key Details

• Transaction date: July 1, 2026; Filing date (Form 4): July 9, 2026. The filing occurred more than two business days after the transaction (see note below).
• Grant: 51,975 RSUs; reported acquisition price: $0.00.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the filing.
• Footnotes:
  • F1 — Each RSU is a contingent right to one ordinary share; RSUs vest in three equal (33%) installments on each anniversary of the vesting commencement date (July 1, 2026).
  • F2 — The RSUs are held by AI PAVE (Luxembourg) Management & Cy S.C.Sp. for the benefit of the reporting person and remain subject to the award’s vesting terms.
• Timeliness: The Form 4 was filed on July 9, 2026 for a July 1 transaction, which is beyond the usual two-business-day reporting window; this may be considered a late filing.

Context
RSU grants are a common form of executive compensation and do not involve an immediate market purchase or sale. These RSUs will convert into ordinary shares only as they vest (33% each year over three years), at which point any subsequent sale or withholding for taxes would be reported in later filings. Because this is a grant (not a purchase or sale), it should be viewed as compensation rather than a direct signal of buying or selling sentiment.
