Pearson Gregory Carl 4

What Happened

• Gregory Carl Pearson, President & CEO of Post Holdings, was granted two restricted stock unit (RSU) awards on April 5, 2026: 5,914 RSUs and 2,571 RSUs, for a total of 8,485 RSUs. Each RSU is a contingent right to receive one share of Post common stock; the reported acquisition price is $0.00 because these are compensation awards rather than purchases.
• These awards were granted under the Post Holdings Amended and Restated 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan and are exempt under Rule 16b-3. RSUs will convert to shares only after vesting according to the award terms.

Context

• RSUs are deferred compensation: they represent a future right to receive shares if and when vesting conditions are met. Because shares are not issued immediately, RSU grants are routine executive compensation and do not by themselves indicate an insider buying or selling stock.
• Investors often watch grants for scale and vesting timing (which can affect future share issuance and potential insider selling when vesting occurs), but grants alone are not a direct bullish or bearish signal.
