Steinberg Jonathan L 4

What Happened

• Jonathan L. Steinberg, CEO of WisdomTree, received equity awards on January 25, 2026: 121,317 restricted shares (awarded at $0) and 121,317 performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs, derivative award, reported at $0). On the same date he surrendered 121,651 shares back to the company to cover withholding taxes (disposition reported at $0).
• These were grants/awards (not purchases or sales). The awards have vesting conditions: the restricted stock vests in thirds, and the PRSUs are performance-based and may pay out between 0%–200% of the target depending on total shareholder return versus a peer group.

Key Details

• Transaction date: January 25, 2026; filing date: January 27, 2026 (filed within the typical 2‑business‑day Form 4 window).
• Reported transactions: A (award/acquisition) of 121,317 shares @ $0.00; F (tax withholding/disposition) of 121,651 shares @ $0.00; A (derivative award) of 121,317 PRSUs @ $0.00.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing.
• Footnotes of note:
  • F1: The 121,317 restricted shares vest as to 40,439 shares on each of Jan 25, 2027, 2028 and 2029.
  • F4/F5: Each PRSU converts to one share on vesting; PRSUs are scheduled to vest Jan 25, 2029, with payout 0%–200% of target based on 3‑year TSR vs peers; vesting may accelerate in certain terminations or change‑of‑control situations.
  • F3: The 121,651-share disposition was a surrender of common stock to cover withholding taxes.

Context

• These transactions are standard executive compensation actions (equity grants and tax withholding via share surrender). The grants are awards rather than open‑market purchases (so they are not a direct bullish cash investment by the insider).
• PRSUs are derivative awards that only convert to stock if/when performance and time‑based vesting conditions are met; outcome will depend on future company performance relative to peers.
