Martin Sebastien 4

What Happened

• Martin Sebastien, a director of ESAB Corp (ESAB), received two equity awards on May 8, 2026: 2,647 derivative awards (stock options) that vested and became exercisable on the grant date, and 813 restricted stock units (RSUs). Both awards are reported as acquired at $0.00 (awarded), so no cash was exchanged at grant and no immediate sale occurred.

Key Details

• Transaction date: May 8, 2026; Form 4 filed May 12, 2026 (filed within the 2 business‑day reporting window).
• Awards: 2,647 stock options (vested/exercisable on grant); 813 RSUs (contingent rights to one share each).
• Price reported: $0.00 per share (award/grant).
• RSU vesting: the 813 RSUs vest in a single installment on June 1, 2027 (footnote).

Context

• These were compensation awards (not open‑market purchases or sales). The options became exercisable immediately; the RSUs are time‑vested and will convert to shares only after the stated vesting date. Awards like these are common for directors as part of pay programs and don’t by themselves indicate a buy/sell signal.
