Summary

  • Gregory M. Bryant, an executive at Analog Devices, filed an amended Form 4 (Form 4/A) with the SEC to correct a previous filing regarding his beneficial ownership of derivative securities.
  • The amendment addresses inaccuracies in the number of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) reported after vesting.
  • The original Form 4, filed on March 19, 2024, incorrectly stated the number of derivative securities owned after the vesting of RSUs granted on March 15, 2022, and April 4, 2022.
  • The corrected filing shows that Bryant beneficially owned 17,414 derivative securities after the vesting of the March 15, 2022 RSUs, instead of the previously reported 26,120.
  • Similarly, the corrected filing indicates that Bryant beneficially owned 8,349 derivative securities after the vesting of the April 4, 2022 RSUs, instead of the previously reported 12,523.
  • The RSUs vest in equal installments on the first, second, third, and fourth anniversaries of March 15, 2022, and each vested RSU automatically converts into one share of Analog Devices common stock.
