On March 12, 2026, he received a grant of 4,284 MSUs, each convertible into one share of common stock, with actual payout tied to stock-price performance.

- Represents the vesting (1,272) and payout (1,373) of the first tranche (1/3) of the market stock units (MSU) granted on March 13, 2025 at 108% payout factor and such payment includes 101 shares which were above the target number of shares originally reported. Includes shares acquired under the Motorola Solutions Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and through the reinvestment of dividends. Represents the vesting (1,372) and payout (1,920) of the second tranche (1/3) of the market stock units (MSU) granted on March 14, 2024 at 140% payout factor and such payment includes 548 shares which were above the target number of shares originally reported. Based on plan statement as of March 2, 2026. Each market stock unit ("MSU") converts into shares of common stock on a 1-for-1 basis but the number of MSUs earned varies from 0% to 200% of the target number of MSUs based on the average of the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant and the thirty calendar days immediately preceding the date of grant (referred to as Share Price on Date of Grant) as compared to the closing share price of the Company's common stock on the vesting date and the thirty calendar days immediately preceding the vesting date (referred to as Share Price on Vesting Date). The target number of MSUs is reported in this Report. One third of the MSU award will vest on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant and will be converted into shares of common stock based on a payout factor, provided that the MSUs will only vest if the Share Price on the Vesting Date equals at least 60% of the Share Price on the Date of Grant.
