Safran David 4

What Happened David Safran, a director of Compass Minerals International, received equity awards from the company: a grant of 181 common stock units (dated 2025-12-31) and an annual grant of 1,348 restricted stock units (RSUs) (dated 2025-12-18). Both awards are reported as acquired at $0.00 (i.e., awarded, not purchased), for a total of 1,529 shares/units. These are grants for director service and are typical compensation awards rather than open-market purchases or sales.

  • F2: 1,348 RSUs are the annual restricted stock unit grant and will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date.

Context These awards are compensation-related grants to a director and were issued at no cash cost to the recipient. RSUs are derivative awards that convert to shares (or cash) upon vesting — in this case the RSUs vest one year after grant (per F2). Such grants are routine for directors and do not, by themselves, indicate the insider’s intention to buy or sell shares.
