Kratos (KTOS) CFO Deanna Lund Receives Restricted Stock Awards

What Happened
Deanna H. Lund, EVP, CFO and Director of Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (KTOS), had three Performance Restricted Stock Unit (PRSU) awards settle on March 4, 2026. Each settlement granted 25,000 shares (three grants = 75,000 shares acquired at $0.00). To satisfy tax withholding on the vested shares, the company withheld/disposed 13,487 shares for each settlement (total withheld = 40,461 shares) at $89.13 per share, producing proceeds of $1,202,096 per withholding (total ≈ $3,606,288). Net shares retained after withholding from these settlements = 34,539.

Context
These transactions are award settlements with routine tax withholding (a net share settlement), not open-market sales or purchases. Withholding of shares to cover taxes is common when equity awards vest and does not, by itself, indicate an intent to sell additional shares on the market.
