Monday Jeffrey Richard 4

What Happened
Jeffrey R. Monday, Senior Vice President & Chief Growth Officer of Fluence Energy (FLNC), was granted 17,453 non‑qualified stock options on February 18, 2026. The award is reported as a derivative grant (acquisition at $0.00 per share under Form 4 code A). The grant itself shows no cash outlay by the insider; its value depends on future company stock performance and option terms.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-18; Form 4 filed 2026-02-20.
• Security: 17,453 non‑qualified stock options granted (reported as derivative, acquisition price $0.00).
• Vesting: Options vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date (footnote). Vesting is conditioned on continued service.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing details.
• No 10b5-1 plan, tax‑withholding, or sale reported in this filing; this is a grant/award, not an open‑market purchase or sale.
• Filing timing: Reported on Form 4 two days after the transaction date (appears timely).

Context
This is an equity award (stock options) rather than an outright stock purchase or sale. Because the options vest over time and have no immediate exercise price shown in the filing, they do not represent an immediate change in stock ownership or a realized cash transaction. Such grants are a routine element of executive compensation and align long‑term incentives with company performance; they are not direct indicators of near‑term insider buying or selling.
