GHOSH SOURAV 4

What Happened

• Sourav Ghosh, CFO of Host Hotels & Resorts (HST), received 113,029 performance-based restricted stock units that vested on Feb 17, 2026. The filing shows an award (code A) of 113,029 shares at $0.00 (grant/vesting).
• To satisfy tax withholding (code F), 55,441 of those shares were surrendered/withheld at $20.01 per share, generating proceeds of $1,109,374. Using the $20.01 price, the vested award had an implied value of roughly $2.26M and Ghosh retained approximately 57,588 shares after withholding.
• This was a vesting/tax-withholding event (routine), not an open-market purchase or a discretionary sale that would signal a trading view.

Context

• Code A indicates the issuance/vesting of restricted stock units; code F indicates surrender/withholding of shares to satisfy tax obligations. This is a common, routine administrative transaction tied to compensation — not an open-market sale expressing sentiment.
• For retail investors, vested awards increase insider exposure unless shares are sold; the withholding here is standard and reduces the net shares received.
