Verkleeren Ronald L 4

What Happened
Ronald L. Verkleeren, Senior VP of the Emerging Innovations Group at Corning (GLW), converted 2,476 restricted stock units (RSUs) into common shares on February 9, 2026. As part of the vesting/settlement, 893 shares were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations, valued at approximately $131.39 per share (≈ $117,331). The conversion entries show $0 per-share exercise price, consistent with an RSU-to-share conversion rather than a paid stock option exercise.

Context
This was a conversion/settlement of RSUs with a portion of shares surrendered for tax withholding — a routine administrative action rather than an open-market sale or purchase. RSU conversions commonly show $0 exercise price because they represent previously granted compensation converting into shares; withholding to cover taxes is standard practice and does not necessarily signal insider sentiment about the stock.
