Zitting Shaun Ellen 4

What Happened Shaun Ellen Zitting, Chief Human Resources Officer of NIQ Global Intelligence plc (NIQ), received a grant of 39,508 restricted share units (RSUs) on February 18, 2026. The filing reports an acquisition at $0.00 per RSU (non-cash award). This is a grant (transaction code A), not an open-market purchase or sale, so it reflects compensation/equity incentive rather than an immediate bullish or bearish trading signal.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-18; Form 4 filed: 2026-02-20 (appears timely).
• Reported price: $0.00 — RSUs (contingent rights to receive ordinary shares upon vesting).
• Vesting: RSUs vest in 33% increments on each of the three anniversaries of the vesting commencement date (Feb 18, 2026) (see footnote F1).
• Holding vehicle: 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 agreement and vesting (footnote F2).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the filing.

Context RSU grants are common executive compensation and only convert to actual shares if/when they vest; they are not an immediate cash outlay or market purchase. Because this was an award (not a sale or purchase), it should be viewed as routine compensation rather than a direct signal of the insider’s view on the company’s stock price.
