On August 27, 2025, Alexander R. Slusky, a Director of Rocket Lab USA Inc. (RKLB), was granted 3,960 RSUs in Common Stock at $0.00 per share, as reported in the Form 4 filed on August 29, 2025. These RSUs are pursuant to the Rocket Lab Corporation Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy and the 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, vesting in full on the earlier of the Issuer's next Annual Meeting of Stockholders or the one-year anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued service. Following the transaction, Slusky owns 123,849 shares directly and 534,675 shares indirectly through Abalone Cove LLLP, where he is the sole general partner and he and his spouse are the sole limited partners. This is a standard automatic compensation grant, not pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan, with no prior pattern context provided in the filing; it aligns insiders with shareholders but does not reflect market purchases or sales.

This routine RSU grant to a director signals standard compensation practices and ongoing board alignment with shareholders but does not indicate strong insider confidence or concern, as it is non-discretionary and at no cost.
