Baty Nicola J. 4

What Happened

• Nicola J. Baty, Chief Operating Officer of Freshpet, had 418 shares withheld on March 15, 2026 to satisfy tax withholding related to vested restricted stock units. The filing reports the shares were disposed (withheld) at $76.60 per share for a cash equivalent of about $32,019.
• This was a tax-withholding action on vested RSUs (code F), not an open-market sale or a purchase; such withholdings are routine and do not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-15; Form 4 filed: 2026-03-17 (timely filing).
• Price: $76.60 per share; Shares withheld/disposed: 418; Value: ~$32,019 (418 × $76.60).
• Footnote: F1 — shares withheld upon vesting of restricted stock units to cover tax withholding obligations.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the information provided.

Context

• This is a cashless-withholding of RSUs to cover taxes — a common administrative step when equity awards vest. The filing’s “disposed” notation reflects the company withholding shares for tax, not a market sale by the insider.
