Aslaksen Julie P 4

What Happened

• Julie P. Aslaksen, EVP, General Counsel & Secretary of Host Hotels & Resorts (HST), was granted 33,550 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-02-05 (reported on a Form 4 filed 2026-02-09). The RSUs were reported at $0.00 acquisition price because they are awards that will settle in shares.
• To cover tax withholding on the award, 4,698 shares were surrendered/withheld at $19.00 per share, generating $89,262 in consideration (transaction code F, a tax withholding disposition). The grant (code A) is the primary acquisition; the withholding is a routine disposition to satisfy taxes.

Context

• These were restricted stock unit awards (not open-market purchases). RSUs typically vest over time and are common long-term compensation for executives.
• The 4,698-share disposition is a withholding for taxes (F), not an open-market sale; such withholdings are routine and do not necessarily indicate a bearish view.
• The net economic impact to the insider is the receipt of RSUs subject to future vesting; the ~$89k represents taxes covered via share withholding at the reported price.
