Rogers Jr. Receives Dividend Equivalent RSUs Tied to NYT's 2020 Incentive Plan

According to the filing, John W. Rogers Jr., in his capacity as a Director of The New York Times Company, acquired 111 Restricted Stock Units on October 22, 2026. The filing describes these as "Dividend Equivalent RSUs" acquired "in respect of previously reported RSUs awarded under The New York Times Company 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan in connection with, and with a value equal to, cash dividends paid on The New York Times Company's Class A Common Stock." The acquisition price is listed as $0, meaning no cash consideration was paid by the reporting person.

The New York Times Company, a media organization that publishes The New York Times and operates digital subscription products, awards RSUs to directors as part of its incentive compensation structure. The filing clarifies two distinct vesting treatments for Dividend Equivalent RSUs: those granted in respect of already-vested RSUs become "fully vested at grant," while those linked to unvested RSUs will vest on the date the underlying unvested RSUs vest, defined in the filing as "the date of the Company's first annual meeting following the initial grant." Following this transaction, Rogers Jr. directly holds 54,709 shares of Class A Common Stock, according to the disclosure.
