Hambly Eric M 4

What Happened

• Eric M. Hambly, President & CEO of Murphy Oil (MUR), had a mix of derivative conversions/exercises and equity awards on Feb 3, 2026. Transaction lines show 35,589 shares from a conversion/exercise (M) and two awards/grants of 77,210 and 115,820 shares (A) were recorded as acquired (these are RSU/PSU-type awards).
• The filing also shows 14,005 shares were withheld/disposed to satisfy tax withholding at $30.05 per share for proceeds of $420,804 (F2). Another line shows 39,860 shares from a conversion/exercise treated as disposed with $0 proceeds (a non-cash settlement/conversion entry). Based on the reported lines, the filing shows roughly 228,619 shares credited (35,589 + 77,210 + 115,820) and 53,865 shares removed (14,005 + 39,860), a net increase of about 174,754 shares arising from these events (per the filing lines).

Key Details

• Transaction date: February 3, 2026; Filing date: February 5, 2026. No late filing flag shown in the provided data.
• Tax withholding: 14,005 shares withheld at $30.05 = $420,804 (routine sale to cover taxes).
• Awards/Derivatives: Performance- and time-based restricted stock units (RSUs/PSUs) and conversions/exercises rather than open-market purchases or discretionary sales. Footnotes: F1 (vested performance RSUs — 80% of original award plus dividend equivalents), F2 (shares withheld for taxes), F3 & F7 (performance awards under 2020 and 2025 LTIP), F5 (time-based award under 2025 plan), F6 (time-based award vests Feb 3, 2029), F4 (securities without conversion price/exercise/expiration dates).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided data.
• Nature of activity: Mostly compensation-related vesting/settlement and routine tax withholding — not an open-market investment purchase.

Context

• These transactions are largely awards and vesting/settlement of restricted stock units (performance- and time-based), not discretionary purchases or market sales (other than share withholding to cover taxes). The $420.8k shown is the tax-withholding sale; lines showing $0 proceeds reflect non-cash settlements/conversions common with RSU/PSU vesting.
• For retail investors, such compensation-related insider filings indicate executive remuneration events rather than direct bullish/bearish trading signals.
