- Footnotes:
- F1: Balance adjusted to reflect shares acquired under the Gap Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).
- F2: Each restricted stock unit (RSU) represents a contingent right to receive one share of Gap Inc. common stock.
- F3: The reporting person was granted 58,139 RSUs on March 17, 2025, vesting in three equal annual installments beginning March 17, 2026.
- No 10b5-1 plan or gift noted; this appears to be a routine tax-withholding disposition rather than an open-market sale for diversification.
Context
- This was a conversion/settlement of equity awards (RSUs) rather than a cash purchase; the withholding/sale of shares to meet tax liabilities is common after vesting and doesn't necessarily signal a view on company stock. Purchases are generally more informative than routine withholding sales; here the primary action was the receipt of vested shares with a partial sale to cover taxes.
