Moh Woon Keat 4

What Happened

• Moh Woon Keat, SVP and President CAI of Avient Corp (AVNT), had restricted stock units (RSUs) vest on February 19, 2026. As a result he received 2,280 shares and 1,260 shares were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. The withheld shares were valued at $42.51 each for a total withholding of $53,563.
• The filing shows conversion/exercise of a derivative (code M) reflecting the RSU-to-share conversion and a tax withholding disposition (code F). No open-market sale by the insider is reported — the shares were withheld to cover taxes (a routine, non-market disposition).

Key Details

• Footnotes: RSUs represent a contingent right to one share each (F1); dividend equivalents included (F2); withheld shares were solely to satisfy tax withholding on vesting (F3); the RSU grant vests in equal installments on Feb 19 of 2026, 2027 and 2028 (F4).

Context

• This was a vesting and tax-withholding event (conversion of RSUs), not a market purchase or voluntary sale. Shares withheld to meet tax obligations are a common, routine transaction and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling sentiment.
• Transaction codes: M = conversion/exercise of a derivative (here, RSUs converting into common shares); F = shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding.
