Berk Howard M 4

What Happened

• Howard M. Berk, a director of Dine Brands Global, Inc. (DIN), received a grant of 3,590 restricted stock units (RSUs) on February 27, 2026. The award was recorded at $0.00 in the filing (typical for RSU grants) and is a compensation award rather than a purchase or sale.

Context

• RSU grants are compensation and do not require the insider to spend cash; they represent future shares contingent on vesting conditions (here, one-year continued service).
• Because this is an award (not an open-market purchase or sale), it should be viewed as routine compensation rather than an immediate bullish or bearish trading signal.
