Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-30; per-share value reported: $104.75; total value: $11,111.
• Instrument: 106.07 stock equivalents (derivative), reported as an award/grant.
• Shares owned after the transaction: not disclosed in the filing.
• Footnotes: (1) Director retainers are deferred into Post stock equivalents under the Non-Management Directors Deferred Compensation Plan and credited after the month earned; (2) the stock equivalents have no fixed exercisable or expiration dates and are paid out in cash upon separation from the board.
• Filing timing: Form 4 was filed 2026-05-04 for a 2026-04-30 transaction (filed 4 days after the transaction), which may exceed the typical two-business-day Form 4 reporting window.

Context

• These were stock equivalents from a deferred compensation arrangement, meaning Atkinson did not receive freely tradable common shares but a credited cash-equivalent tied to Post's stock value that will be paid in cash upon departure from the board. Such awards are routine director compensation and do not necessarily signal a personal buy or sell decision.
