[Form 4] Iridium Communications Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Moelis & Company (MC) filed a Form 4 reporting equity awards granted to non-employee director Kenneth Shropshire on 1 July 2025.

• 1,761 2025 Annual Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) were awarded at a reference price of $62.45 (average closing price for the five trading days ended 30 June 2025). The units vested immediately on the grant date, with share settlement scheduled within 60 days after 1 July 2027.
• 208 2025 Elective RSUs were awarded on the same date. These RSUs vest in four equal quarterly installments, concluding on 1 July 2026, and are settled within 60 days of each vesting date.
• Each RSU entitles the holder to receive one share of Class A common stock. Following the transactions, Shropshire beneficially owns the exact number of RSUs granted (1,761 and 208, respectively), reported as direct ownership.

The filing reflects routine director compensation rather than an open-market purchase or sale; therefore, immediate market impact is expected to be neutral.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR – Routine equity grant; neutral signal for MC shareholders.

The Form 4 shows standard RSU compensation to an outside director, totaling 1,969 units valued at the grant reference price of $62.45. Because the award is part of Moelis & Co.’s normal director program, involves no cash transaction, and the shares are subject to multi-year settlement schedules, it does not alter the firm’s capital structure or convey new information about operating performance. Insider alignment is marginally positive, but the small size versus MC’s float renders the event not impactful for valuation or liquidity.
