Insights

Routine equity grant of 1,396 RSUs to CRAI’s EVP and General Counsel.

Jonathan D. Yellin, EVP and General Counsel of CRA International, was awarded 1,396 RSUs on April 9, 2026. These are compensation-related awards, not market purchases, and carry an exercise price of $0.00 per unit, consistent with standard RSU structures.

The new RSUs vest in four equal annual installments starting April 9, 2027, encouraging multi-year retention. Footnotes show additional RSU tranches with dividend-equivalent “Dividend Units,” plus stock options at exercise prices of $44.87 and $47.45, giving Yellin ongoing equity exposure.

The filing also reports 14,702 shares of common stock held directly, framing the grant as part of a broader equity position. With no open-market buys or sells disclosed, this appears to be routine executive compensation rather than a trading signal, and does not materially change the overall investment thesis.

Restricted Stock Units financial
"Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
Dividend Units financial
"Dividend equivalent rights accrue with respect to unvested RSUs in the form of additional RSUs ("Dividend Units")"
dividend equivalent rights financial
"Dividend equivalent rights accrue with respect to unvested RSUs in the form of additional RSUs"
Dividend equivalent rights are promises that mirror the cash payments shareholders get from a company’s profits, but they are paid to holders of certain awards (like stock options or restricted stock units) rather than to actual shares. Think of them as a paycheck top‑up that matches dividends while the award is not yet a real stock, and they matter to investors because they add to employee compensation costs and potential share dilution, affecting company profitability and per‑share value.
Nonqualified Stock Option (right to buy) financial
"Nonqualified Stock Option (right to buy) ... exercise price 44.8700"
withholding taxes financial
"shares will be delivered ... no later than two and one-half months ... subject to the collection of withholding taxes"
Withholding taxes are amounts a payer or government takes out of payments — such as wages, interest, or dividends — before the recipient gets the money, functioning like a cashier keeping part of a bill to pay taxes on your behalf. For investors this matters because it reduces the cash they actually receive, affects net returns and yield calculations, and may require additional paperwork or treaty claims to recover or offset the withheld amount against final tax bills.
