Guidewire (GWRE) Director Karl A. Vollert Receives RSU Award

What Happened
Karl Alexander Vollert, a director of Guidewire Software, was granted 578 restricted stock units (RSUs) on August 12, 2026. The Form 4 reports an acquisition price of $0.00 for the award (typical for RSU grants); the filing lists 578 shares acquired under transaction code A (award/grant). This is an equity compensation award rather than an open‑market purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-08-12
• Transaction type: Award/Grant of RSUs (Form 4 code A)
• Shares granted: 578 RSUs; acquisition price reported as $0.00 (total reported value $0.00)
• Vesting: Per footnote F1, the RSUs become 100% vested on the earlier of one year from the grant date or the issuer's next annual meeting of stockholders.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in this filing.
• Timeliness: Filing date equals report date (2026-08-12), so the report appears timely.

Context
RSUs are a common form of director/executive compensation that convert into shares upon vesting; they do not require an immediate cash outlay and are not a direct purchase signal. This grant reflects compensation/retention practice rather than an insider market trade.
