American Tower CFO Rodney Smith Receives RSU Award; Shares Withheld

What Happened

  • Rodney M. Smith, EVP, Chief Financial Officer & Treasurer of American Tower (AMT), was granted 10,531 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-03-10 (each RSU converts to one share on vesting). Those RSUs were reported as an award (no purchase price).
  • To satisfy withholding taxes on vested awards, 12,433 shares were delivered to the issuer on 2026-03-10 at $186.12 per share for a value of $2,314,030, and 1,295 shares were delivered on 2026-03-11 at $182.85 per share for a value of $236,791. Total shares withheld: 13,728; total value surrendered: $2,550,821.
  • This is an award grant combined with routine tax-withholding dispositions (coded F), not an open-market sale or purchase.

Context

  • These transactions reflect an RSU grant and the common practice of surrendering shares to cover tax withholding when RSUs vest (a cashless net settlement). Such withholding exchanges are administrative and do not necessarily indicate insider sentiment about the stock.
  • For retail investors: grants increase future potential share holdings as RSUs vest; the withheld shares reduce the net shares received at vesting. Purchases are generally stronger signals than routine tax withholdings.
