De Lange Bob 4

What Happened

• Bob De Lange, Group President of Caterpillar Inc., had 9,055 performance-based restricted stock units vest on Feb 10, 2026 (reported as an award/acquisition at $0.00). To satisfy withholding for taxes on the vesting, 4,011 shares were withheld/disposed at $744.83 per share, resulting in proceeds of $2,987,513. This is a vesting/tax-withholding event rather than a market sell driven by trading decisions.

Context

• This was a standard RSU vesting with shares withheld for taxes (a routine corporate compensation event), not an open-market sale or an options exercise. Withholding-to-cover tax obligations is common and does not necessarily indicate the insider’s view of the company’s prospects.
