Anderson Aaron 4

What Happened

• Aaron Anderson, Chief Accounting Officer of Meta Platforms (META), had RSUs convert to 2,114 shares on Feb 15, 2026 (three separate conversions of 1,450; 333; and 331 RSUs). The conversions show an exercise/conversion price of $0.00 (these were RSU settlements, not option purchases).
• To satisfy tax withholding obligations, 936 shares were withheld by the company (reported as disposition for tax withholding) with a reported per-share figure of $639.77, totaling about $598,825. Additionally, Anderson donated (gifted) 167 shares on Feb 18, 2026. After the withholding and gift from this settlement, roughly 1,011 shares remained from this vesting event.

Context

• These were RSU settlements (not option exercise purchases). The $0.00 exercise price reflects conversion of restricted stock units into shares, not a cash purchase of stock.
• The 936-share “disposition” is a company tax-withholding/remittance on net settlement (common practice) and should not be read as an open-market sale. The 167-share gift is a charitable donation and does not necessarily indicate buy/sell sentiment.
• No open-market purchases or sales for cash were reported in this filing; the key economic event was the RSU settlement and associated withholding/gift.
