Williams‑Sonoma (WSM) Director Frits Van Paasschen Exercises RSUs
What Happened
- Frits D. Van Paasschen, a director of Williams‑Sonoma (WSM), reported the conversion/ exercise of restricted stock units (RSUs) that vested on June 11, 2026.
- The filing shows 1,391 shares were acquired at $0.00 (conversion of RSUs) and 1,391 shares were disposed at $0.00 as a derivative disposition.

Key Details
- Transaction date: June 11, 2026; Form 4 filed June 12, 2026 (timely).
- Acquired: 1,391 shares @ $0.00 (conversion of RSUs; transaction code M).
- Disposed: 1,391 shares @ $0.00 (derivative disposition, likely tax withholding).
- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing; net change in beneficial ownership = 0 shares.
- Footnotes: F1 — each RSU represents a right to one share; F2 — RSUs fully vested on June 11, 2026.

Context
- This was a routine vesting/settlement of RSUs rather than an open‑market buy or sell. The conversion at $0.00 reflects settlement of previously granted RSUs; the simultaneous disposition is commonly used to cover tax withholding and does not necessarily indicate a change in the insider’s market view. Transaction code M denotes exercise/conversion of a derivative (here, RSUs).
