What Happened
- Randolph A. Wacker, SVP & Chief Accounting Officer of nVent Electric plc (NVT), surrendered 161 shares on Feb 10, 2026 to satisfy tax withholding related to the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs). The shares were valued at $112.15 each, totaling approximately $18,056. This was a tax-withholding disposition (routine), not an open-market sale.
Key Details
- Transaction date and price: Feb 10, 2026 — 161 shares at $112.15 per share (total ~$18,056).
- Transaction code: F — payment of exercise price or tax liability (here used to withhold shares for taxes on RSU vesting). Footnote F1 confirms shares were surrendered to pay taxes on RSU vesting.
- Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in the provided report (end-of-period holdings referenced by other footnotes).
- Filing: Form 4 filed Feb 12, 2026 (appears timely based on standard 2-business-day reporting).
- Other footnotes (F2–F6): indicate end-of-period holdings may include dividend reinvestment plan shares, monthly ESPP purchases, previously reported RSU vesting, deferrals of vested RSUs, and delivery of shares per an irrevocable deferral election.
Context
- This transaction reflects routine tax withholding when RSUs vest — shares are surrendered to cover tax obligations, which is common and does not signal a discretionary sale of stock. It reduces the number of shares delivered to the insider but does not necessarily indicate a change in personal bullish/bearish sentiment.
