Fashinpaur Melissa A 4

What Happened

• Melissa A. Fashinpaur, Chief Accounting Officer of MATERION Corp (MTRN), was granted 52 restricted stock units (RSUs) on January 31, 2026. The Form 4 records the acquisition at $0.00 per unit (an award/derivative grant). The filing does not assign a cash purchase price; the grant represents a future right to receive shares.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-01-31; Grant type: Award (derivative) — 52 RSUs at $0.00 each.
• Vesting schedule: Units will vest on January 31, 2029 (per footnote F2).
• RSU mechanics: Each RSU represents a right to receive one share of MTRN common stock upon vesting (footnote F1).
• Expiration/Exercisable note: Filing lists expiration date same as date exercisable (footnote F3).
• Filing: Reported on Form 4 filed Feb 3, 2026 (filing appears timely); the filing does not specify post-transaction beneficial ownership.

Context

• RSUs are an equity award, not a market purchase or sale. They don’t involve an immediate cash outlay and only convert into shares if/when they vest. Small grants (52 shares) are routine executive compensation and typically shouldn’t be read as a strong buy/sell signal by themselves.
