Avient (AVNT) SVP Moh Woon Keat Exercises Options; Shares Withheld

What Happened

Moh Woon Keat, Senior Vice President and President, CAI at Avient (AVNT), exercised/converted derivative awards on January 20, 2026. The filing reports 1,870 shares acquired at an exercise price of $24.98 per share (total = $46,713).
To cover tax obligations, 1,618 shares were withheld/disposed at a reported market value of $35.62 per share (total value withheld ≈ $57,633). The filing also shows the derivative awards (1,870 units) were converted/cancelled as part of the exercise (reported at $0 for the derivative disposal line).
Net effect: 1,870 shares were issued on exercise and 1,618 were surrendered/withheld for taxes, leaving a net issuance of 252 shares to the insider.

Key Details

Transaction dates: January 20, 2026; Form 4 filed January 22, 2026 (filed within typical 2-business-day window).
Prices and amounts: Exercise—1,870 shares @ $24.98 ($46,713); Tax withholding—1,618 shares @ $35.62 (≈ $57,633); derivative conversion line shows 1,870 units disposed @ $0.
Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the information provided in your prompt.
Notable footnotes:
- F1: Withheld amount includes dividend equivalents earned on vested restricted stock units.
- F2: A prior filing over-reported 20 shares; this filing reflects that reduction.
- F3: Some awards are SARs (stock appreciation rights) that vest only if both price and time hurdles are met (three tranches at 10%, 15%, 20% appreciation from grant price of $24.98, with one-third max vesting per year).
Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative; F = payment of exercise price or tax withholding.

Context

This was an exercise/conversion of derivative awards with shares withheld to satisfy tax liabilities (a common, routine post-exercise action). The filing shows shares were not sold on the open market; instead, a withholding/surrender occurred to cover taxes (not a market sale).
The presence of SAR vesting conditions (F3) means some awards only become exercisable if price/time conditions are met; footnotes clarify earned dividend equivalents and a prior reporting correction.

Footnotes (3)

[F1]Includes dividend equivalents earned with respect to the vested restricted stock units.
[F2]This amount reflects a reduction of 20 shares that were over-reported on the Reporting Person's last Form 4 (as determined by a reconciliation to the Reporting Person's records).
[F3]SARs become exercisable and vest only upon the achievement of both price and time requirements. To vest, each one-third of the grant must attain 10%, 15% and 20% stock appreciation, respectively (which must be maintained for a minimum of thirty consecutive trading days) from the grant date closing price of $24.98 per share and no more than one-third of the grant can vest per year during the first three years.
