GHOSH SOURAV 4

What Happened

• Sourav Ghosh, Chief Financial Officer of Host Hotels & Resorts (HST), was granted 72,747 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-02-05. As part of the grant settlement, 11,096 shares were withheld to cover tax withholding at $19.00 per share, totaling $210,824. The RSUs were reported on a Form 4 filed 2026-02-09.
• This is an equity award (grant) rather than an open-market buy or sale; the withholding is a routine tax-related disposition, not a directional trade.

Key Details

• Transaction dates: Grant and withholding both dated 2026-02-05; Form 4 filed 2026-02-09.
• Grant: 72,747 RSUs (code A). Withholding: 11,096 shares at $19.00 each, $210,824 (code F).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnote: The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date and will be settled in shares of the issuer’s common stock.

Context

• RSU grants are compensation awards and are typically intended for retention; they are not the same as an open-market purchase (which might be interpreted as a stronger bullish signal).
• The withholding (code F) is a standard tax-payment method where shares are surrendered to cover taxes and does not necessarily reflect the insider’s view of the company’s stock price.
