HII directors receive new equity awards

Multiple directors of Huntington Ingalls Industries reported new equity-based compensation awards dated April 1, 2026, according to recent regulatory filings. The transactions involve common stock, common stock equivalents, or stock units tied to the company’s shares, and were disclosed as part of the company’s established compensation arrangements.

Director John K. Welch was awarded 123 stock units on April 1, 2026, under Huntington Ingalls Industries’ 2022 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan. The award was deferred into a stock unit account rather than delivered as immediate common stock.

Following this transaction, Welch directly holds 7,780.605 stock units alongside 2,545 shares of Huntington Ingalls common stock. The filing identifies the grant as an exempt transaction under SEC Rule 16b-3, indicating it is treated as a routine compensation award rather than an open-market trade.

Director D. Kelly Anastasi received a grant of 123 shares of Huntington Ingalls Industries common stock on April 1, 2026. The shares were valued at $393.32 per share, according to the related Form 4 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

After this equity grant, Anastasi directly holds 573 shares of the company’s common stock. In addition, the director holds 17,806.622 additional common stock stock-unit award (SUA) units. The filing states that the transaction represents a compensation-related award and not an open-market purchase or sale of shares.

Director Stephanie L. O’Sullivan received an equity award of 123 common stock equivalents. The common stock equivalents were valued at $393.32 per share and were deferred into a stock unit account established under Huntington Ingalls Industries’ 2022 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan.

This award increased O’Sullivan’s direct holdings to 4,020.065 shares. As with the other reported director awards, the transaction for O’Sullivan was classified in the filing as an exempt grant under SEC Rule 16b-3 rather than an open-market purchase.

Across the reported grants, Huntington Ingalls Industries used a mix of common stock, stock units, and common stock equivalents to compensate its directors. The transactions were tied to the company’s 2022 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan or similar compensation programs, reflecting ongoing use of equity-based incentives at the board level.

In each case, the Form 4 filings emphasized that the awards were exempt under Rule 16b-3, underscoring that they formed part of routine director compensation and were not market-driven buying or selling activity in Huntington Ingalls Industries shares.
