WisdomTree (WT) Chief Admin Officer Peter Ziemba Receives Shares
What Happened
Peter M. Ziemba, WisdomTree’s Chief Administrative Officer, had performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs) convert into 61,005 shares on January 27, 2026. The issuer withheld 31,563 of those shares to cover withholding taxes, so the net issued shares to Ziemba were reduced by that withholding. The reported per-share price for these entries is $0.00 because this was a conversion/vesting of PRSUs rather than a cash purchase or sale.
Key Details
- Transaction date: January 27, 2026; Form 4 filed January 29, 2026 (appears timely).
- Reported entries: 61,005 shares acquired via exercise/conversion (code M); 31,563 shares disposed/withheld for tax (code F). All entries show $0.00 per share (PRSU conversion/vesting).
- Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in the provided filing.
- Notable footnotes:
- F1: Each PRSU converted to one share on vesting.
- F2: 2,555 PRSUs include reinvested dividend equivalents.
- F4: The 31,563 shares were withheld by the issuer to cover withholding taxes (cashless withholding).
- F5: These PRSUs were granted Jan 25, 2023 and vested Jan 25, 2026; vesting occurred at 199% of target based on Relative TSR (84.62nd percentile).
Context
- This was a vesting/conversion of performance awards (not an open-market buy or sell). The $0.00 price reflects conversion of units to shares rather than a purchase price.
- The issuer’s withholding of shares to pay taxes is a routine administrative step and does not necessarily signal a trading decision.
- The 199% payout rate indicates the performance metric tied to the award (Relative TSR vs. peers) exceeded the target, producing a larger-than-target vesting outcome.

- [F5]These PRSUs were granted by the Issuer on January 25, 2023 and vested on January 25, 2026. The ultimate number of shares that could have vested was between 0 and 200% of the previously reported target number of PRSUs based on the total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Issuer's common stock relative to the respective TSRs of the stocks of a peer group of companies, each measured over a 3-year period from the grant date ("Relative TSR"). Based on a report issued by an independent valuation specialist and certified by the Issuer's compensation committee on January 27, 2026, the Relative TSR measured in the 84.62nd percentile, resulting in the vesting of 199% of the target number of PRSUs.
