OTTINGER JOSEPH 4

What Happened

• Joseph Ottinger, SVP & Corporate Controller of Host Hotels & Resorts (HST), received a grant of 4,857 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-02-05 (transaction code A). The grant was reported at $0.00 per share because RSUs are equity awards rather than a cash purchase.
• On the same date he also disposed of 796 shares (transaction code F) at $19.00 per share to satisfy a tax liability; the shares surrendered equal $15,124. This disposition appears to be a tax withholding event related to equity compensation, not an open-market sale.
