According to the filing footnote, the RSUs vested immediately, resulting in an immediate acquisition of the underlying common stock.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-20 (Award/Grant — code A)
• Reported acquisition: 870 RSUs @ $0.00 (no cash paid per Form 4)
• Filing date: 2026-03-24 (filed within the SEC two-business-day reporting window)
• Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in this filing
• Footnote: RSUs granted under the 2014 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan; the RSUs vested immediately

Context

• RSUs are a form of compensation that convert into shares upon vesting; immediate vesting means the director acquired the shares outright at the vesting date. The Form 4 lists $0.00 as the acquisition price because this was an award rather than a market purchase; the taxable/economic value would be the market price of KEYS shares at vesting (not shown on the Form 4). Awards to directors are common and typically reflect compensation or retention practices rather than an explicit buy/sell signal.
