- Share counts and values: 18,061 RSUs vested → 18,061 shares; 6,654 shares withheld at $19.78/share = $131,616; net received = 11,407 shares.
- Price: RSU conversion shows $0.00 exercise price (RSUs convert to shares without purchase). Withheld shares valued at $19.78 each.

- Notable footnotes: F2 clarifies the 6,654-share withholding was done by Macy's to satisfy tax withholding and was not a discretionary sale by the reporting person. F3 notes the original grant was 36,123 RSUs granted Feb 29, 2024, vesting in two equal installments (this represents the second-year installment).
Context
- RSU vesting and share-withholding for taxes are routine compensation events and do not necessarily indicate the insider's view on the stock. This was a conversion/settlement of RSUs (derivative conversion), not a market purchase or voluntary sale.
- Because the company withheld shares to satisfy tax obligations (a net settlement), there was no open-market transaction signaling additional insider buying or selling intent.
