RISOLEO JAMES F 4

What Happened

• James F. Risoleo, President & CEO and a director of Host Hotels & Resorts (HST), received a grant of 243,997 restricted stock units (RSUs) on Feb 5, 2026 (transaction code A). The award was recorded at $0.00 since RSUs are a deferred equity grant.
• On the same date he disposed of 30,904 shares at $19.00 per share (total value $587,176) to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to the award (transaction code F).

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-05; filing date: 2026-02-09 (filed timely).
• Grant: 243,997 RSUs (A) — no cash paid; recorded at $0.00 in the Form 4.
• Withholding/disposition: 30,904 shares disposed at $19.00 each for $587,176 (F).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing.
• Footnote: The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant and will be settled in shares of common stock (see F1).
• Transaction codes: A = Award/Grant; F = payment of exercise price or tax liability (here, tax withholding).

Context

• This was an equity award (RSUs) combined with a routine tax-withholding disposition — the 30,904-share disposal was to cover taxes and is not a market-sale indicating a directional bet by the insider.
• RSUs vest over time (three annual installments), so the economic interest from the grant will be realized as shares are delivered upon vesting.
• For investors, awards and accompanying withholding are common for executives and do not necessarily signal a change in insider confidence; purchases are generally more informative about bullish sentiment.
