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.
