Stuart Thomas Brent 4

What Happened

• Stuart Thomas Brent, President and Chief Operating Officer of FirstCash Holdings, was the recipient of equity awards on January 28, 2026. The filing shows two award-related transactions: 33,603 shares were acquired on vesting of performance-based restricted stock units (RSUs), and 12,741 shares were granted as new time-vested RSUs. A separate transaction shows 13,222 shares were withheld to cover tax withholding associated with RSU vesting. All transactions are recorded at $0.00 per share on the Form 4 (typical for RSU grants/vests).

Key Details

• Transaction date: January 28, 2026
• Transaction types/codes: A = Award/Grant/Acquisition (33,603 and 12,741 shares); F = Tax withholding (13,222 shares)
• Prices reported: $0.00 per share (RSU grants/vests are reported at $0 on Form 4)
• Net shares delivered to insider from the vesting event: 33,603 vested − 13,222 withheld = 20,381 shares (plus 12,741 new unvested RSUs granted)
• Vesting / grant timing:
  • 33,603 shares: vesting of performance RSUs granted Feb 1, 2023, based on a three-year performance period ending Dec 31, 2025 (per footnote)
  • 12,741 shares: new time-vested RSU grant dated Jan 28, 2026; these RSUs will vest Dec 31, 2028 (per footnote)
• Footnotes of note:
  • F1: New time-vested RSU grant (vesting 12/31/2028)
  • F2: Performance RSUs from 2/1/2023 vested based on 3-year performance through 12/31/2025
  • F3: 13,222 shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding
• Shares owned after transaction: not reported in the information provided here
• Filing timeliness: Form filed Jan 30, 2026 for transactions on Jan 28, 2026 — appears timely (Form 4 is typically due within 2 business days)

Context

• These transactions are equity awards/vests, not open-market purchases or sales. Awards and vesting are common executive compensation events and do not necessarily indicate intent to buy or sell stock in the open market.
• The tax-withholding (code F) is a routine disposition used to cover tax liability on vested RSUs; it is not an opportunistic sale.
• For retail investors, awards that vest (like the 33,603 shares) increase an insider’s actual share ownership, while new time-vested grants (12,741) are future compensation subject to restrictions.
