What Happened

  • Sean P. Downes, Executive Chairman and Director of Universal Insurance Holdings, had 8,342 restricted stock units (RSUs convert/vest) on March 27, 2026. As part of the vesting, 6,875 shares were withheld to cover tax withholding obligations (3,283 shares on 3/27 at $33.67 = $110,539; 3,592 shares on 3/30 at $34.16 = $122,703), for total tax withholding of $233,242. Net shares delivered to Downes from this vesting were 1,467 shares (8,342 vested less 6,875 withheld). The exercise/conversion line at $0 reflects RSU vesting rather than an out‑of‑pocket purchase.

Context

  • This was a routine RSU vesting with shares withheld to cover tax obligations (a common "cashless" withholding), not an open-market sale indicating a judgment about the stock. The M transaction code denotes conversion/vesting of a derivative (RSU); the F code denotes shares withheld for tax liability.
