FAQ

What did LEVI director Jill Beraud report in this Form 4 transaction?

Jill Beraud reported receiving equity awards rather than buying on the market. She was granted 89 shares of Class B Common Stock and 75 shares of Class A Common Stock at $0 per share as part of dividend equivalent right awards.

How many LEVI shares does Jill Beraud own after these awards?

Following these awards, Jill Beraud directly holds 14,285 shares of Class B Common Stock and 172,776 shares of Class A Common Stock. These positions reflect her updated direct ownership after the dividend equivalent right grants reported in the Form 4.

Were Jill Beraud’s LEVI share transactions open-market buys or sales?

They were not open-market trades. The Form 4 shows transaction code "A," meaning grant, award, or other acquisition. The shares were received at $0 per share as dividend equivalent right awards tied to existing equity, not purchases or sales in the market.

What are dividend equivalent rights (DERs) mentioned in the LEVI Form 4?

Dividend equivalent rights give a contingent right to receive one share upon settlement. For these LEVI awards, each DER represents one share of Class A or Class B Common Stock, with vesting or deferral conditions such as vesting before the next annual stockholder meeting or on the first anniversary of the grant.

Can LEVI Class B shares reported by Jill Beraud be converted to Class A?

Yes. A footnote states each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock at the holder’s option and has no expiration date, providing flexibility in how these Class B holdings can be converted in the future.

Do the LEVI DER awards to Jill Beraud vest immediately?

Vesting terms differ. One DER award vests 100% on the earlier of the day before the next annual stockholder meeting or the first anniversary of grant. Another set of Class B DERs is fully vested, but the underlying shares are subject to a deferral delivery feature as described.
