TeraWulf (WULF) CTO Nazar M. Khan Exercises Performance Units; Shares Withheld

What Happened

• Nazar M. Khan, Chief Technology Officer and a director of TeraWulf, reported the conversion/exercise of 817,635 performance stock units into common stock on 2026-05-06. Per the filing, 452,152 of those shares were withheld by the issuer to cover taxes (net settlement), leaving a net receipt of 365,483 shares. No dollar prices are reported for these transactions (price = N/A) because this was an award conversion and tax withholding, not an open-market sale.

Context

• This was a conversion/settlement of performance-based awards (PSUs) rather than an open-market purchase or sale. The withholding of shares to cover taxes (net settlement) is a routine administrative step and does not necessarily indicate a sale to a third party. For retail investors, conversions of awards increase the insider’s direct share count (net of withholding), but do not carry the same informational weight as a direct cash purchase or open-market sale.
