JORDEN THOMAS E 4

What Happened
Thomas E. Jorden, CEO, President and a director of Coterra Energy (CTRA), had 85,716 shares of common stock withheld at $28.85 per share (total value ≈ $2,472,907) to satisfy tax obligations related to the vesting of previously disclosed restricted stock units. The Form 4 also shows gift transactions of 131,675 shares (a $0.00 value disposition and a $0.00 acquisition) recorded the same day. The withheld shares are a tax-withholding event tied to RSU vesting, not an open-market sale by Jorden.

• Filing note: F-coded withholding is routine tax-related withholding on vested awards—not a sale reflecting trading intent.

Context
Tax withholding on RSU vesting is a common administrative step and should not be interpreted the same as an open-market sale; gift transactions also do not necessarily indicate the insider’s view of the stock. There were no purchases reported in this filing, so there is no direct “buy” signal from these entries.
