Form 4 raw → Raspberry

The value is in what we do not call a signal.

The SEC XML stores every transaction. Raspberry keeps that evidence, reads the footnotes and separates voluntary open-market activity from vesting, option exercises, gifts, tax withholding, stock purchase and dividend reinvestment plans and pre-programmed 10b5-1 trades.

Each performance-based restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive, upon the satisfaction of certain performance criteria, one share of Class A Common Stock, the equivalent cash value, or a combination of both, at the option and sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of Sonic Automotive, Inc. If the performance criteria are met, this award will vest in three installments, with twenty-five percent (25%) of the units vesting on March 31, 2027, thirty percent (30%) of the units vesting on February 11, 2028, and forty-five percent (45%) of the units vesting on February 11, 2029.
