Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-03-24; Form 4 filed 2026-03-26 (appears timely).
- Prices used: $70.77 per share for all items.
- Shares credited total: 624.518 shares; the Form 4 does not state Mitchell's total post-transaction holdings.
- Footnotes:
- F1 = Dividend equivalents credited as additional RSUs under the RSU Deferral Plan (settled per the director's deferral election).
- F2 = Deferred shares from deferral of quarterly cash fees under the Deferred Compensation Plan (settled in stock upon leaving the board).
- F3 = Additional deferred shares from reinvested dividends under the Deferred Compensation Plan.
- Transaction type: Award/acquisition (code A); two items are listed as derivative credits (not option exercises or sales).
Context
- These credits reflect compensation and dividend reinvestment/deferral programs for non-employee directors, not open-market buys or insider selling. Deferred shares are typically settled in common stock in a lump sum after the director leaves the board, so they do not indicate an immediate market transaction.
- For retail investors, such awards are routine director compensation and should be interpreted as compensation-related credits rather than a direct signal of insider buying or selling.

Footnotes (3)
- [F1]Under the Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. 2020 Restricted Stock Unit Deferral Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "RSU Deferral Plan"), each director's account is credited with dividend equivalents on the deferred restricted stock units when the Company pays cash dividends on its common stock (including special dividends, if any), and such dividend equivalents are denominated in additional restricted stock units based on the average of the high and low price per share on the New York Stock Exchange on the payment date applicable to such dividend. The number of shares reflects the credit of such dividend equivalents to the reporting person's account under the RSU Deferral Plan, which will be settled in accordance with the deferral election made by the reporting person applicable to the underlying deferred restricted stock units.
- [F2]Represents deferred shares acquired pursuant to the Stanley Black & Decker Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Deferred Compensation Plan") as a result of the deferral of quarterly director fees paid in cash to the reporting person. Each deferred share entitles the holder thereof to receive one share of common stock upon settlement. The deferred shares credited to the reporting person's account under the Deferred Compensation Plan, including any additional deferred shares acquired through dividend reinvestment, will be settled in one lump sum payment of common stock on the first business day of the calendar year immediately following the date on which the reporting person ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors.
- [F3]Represents additional deferred shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends paid on deferred shares credited to the reporting person's account under the Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Deferred Compensation Plan"). Each deferred share entitles the holder thereof to receive one share of common stock upon settlement. The deferred shares credited to the reporting person's account under the Deferred Compensation Plan, including any additional deferred shares acquired through dividend reinvestment, will be settled in one lump sum payment of common stock on the first business day of the calendar year immediately following the date on which the reporting person ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors.
