Footnotes from the filing
On May 22, 2019 and May 21, 2025, the Common Stock of Fastenal Company split 2-for-1 and the amounts reported have been adjusted to reflect these two stock splits.
The option will vest and become exercisable over a period of five years, with 40% the option vesting and becoming exercisable two years following the date of grant, and the remainder vesting and becoming exercisable proportionately on each anniversary of the grant date.
The report filed on 8/14/2025 incorrectly reported the number of derivative securities beneficially owned following the reported transaction as 0 derivative securities and this report amends the amount.
