Key Details
- Transaction dates: conversions/settlements and sales dated January 31, 2026; new RSU grant dated February 1, 2026. Filing date: February 3, 2026.
- Sale price: $176.90 per share; sale proceeds for 51,707 shares = $9,146,968.
- Tax withholding: 3,871 shares withheld (code F) at $176.90 ≈ $684,780.
- New grant: 65,010 RSUs (code A) granted under Chevron’s LTIP on Feb 1, 2026; these are derivative awards that vest per plan rules (see footnotes).
- Footnote highlights: RSUs are generally economic equivalents of one share and accrue dividend equivalents (some payable in cash); some awards settle in shares and carry a two-year post‑vesting holding period (see F1–F7). The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of certain limited partnership‑held shares (F2).
- Shares owned after the transactions are not specified in the provided excerpt.
- Filing appears timely (no late filing flag).
Context
- This is a routine executive vesting/settlement and sell-to-cover transaction: vested RSUs converted to shares, some shares were sold and some surrendered to satisfy tax obligations. Such sales are common when equity awards vest and do not necessarily indicate a change in the executive’s view of the company. The new 65,010 RSU grant represents future compensation subject to vesting rules.
