Bhargava Monica 4

What Happened

• Monica Bhargava, President of the Pottery Barn brand at Williams‑Sonoma, had 8,298 restricted stock units (RSUs vest) convert to common shares on January 25, 2026. The RSUs converted at no cash exercise price (reported $0.00 per share).
• To cover tax withholding, 3,518 of those shares were withheld/disposed at a reported value of $204.50 per share, totaling $719,431. After withholding, the net shares delivered to Bhargava were 4,780 (8,298 vested − 3,518 withheld).
• This was a routine vesting/tax withholding event rather than an open‑market sale or purchase.
