Director Carol Juel acquired 3,361 shares of BHF common stock on 05/01/2026 through the vesting of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) awarded as board compensation, with shares being paid out from a deferred compensation account.

Director Paul M. Wetzel received 4,823 shares from vested RSUs (1,120 + 3,703) on 05/01/2026, representing deferred compensation plan payouts rather than discretionary purchases, indicating routine equity compensation settlement.
The transactions reflect scheduled RSU vesting and planned deferral distributions from the Non-Management Director Stock Compensation Plan, with the 3,703-share payout being the second of three planned installments from a 2024 grant.
Wetzel maintains substantial beneficial ownership of 20,826 direct shares plus 17,123 indirect shares held by spouse, demonstrating significant personal stake in company performance despite routine compensation mechanics.
