Schramm Jude 4

What Happened
Jude Schramm, Executive Vice President & Chief Investment Officer of Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB), had two share dispositions on February 14, 2026 to satisfy tax withholding obligations tied to vested restricted stock units (RSUs). The filings show 1,067 shares disposed at $52.86 each for $56,402 and 974 shares disposed at $52.86 each for $51,486 — a combined 2,041 shares for $107,888. These were tax-withholding dispositions (transaction code F), not open-market sales.

Context
These were routine withholdings to cover tax liabilities when RSUs vested (a common corporate practice). Because the shares were withheld rather than sold on the open market, this action does not necessarily signal an intentional sale for diversification or liquidity and should be interpreted as administrative tax withholding rather than a discretionary insider sale.
