Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-03-12; filing date: 2026-03-13 (timely filing).

- Footnotes of note:
- F1: Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Microsoft common stock.
- F2: Dividend equivalents accrue when dividends are paid and vest proportionately with the RSUs.
- F3: RSUs are fully vested; actual share delivery is deferred until 30 days after the director leaves the Board.
- No indication of a 10b5-1 plan, tax-withholding sale (F), cashless exercise, or late filing in this report.
Context
- This is an award/compensation grant to a director, not an open-market purchase or sale; such awards are routine director compensation and do not by themselves indicate a buy/sell signal.
- Because delivery is deferred until after separation, the reporting person currently holds vested RSUs (a right to future shares) rather than tradable shares.
