BWXT President John MacQuarrie Exercises Awards; 268 Shares Surrendered

What Happened

  • John R. MacQuarrie, President, Commercial Operations at BWX Technologies (BWXT), had recent grants and a conversion/exercise of derivative awards. On Feb 25, 2026 he received derivative awards (2,817 and 960 units). On Feb 26, 2026 he converted/exercised 503 derivative units; 268 shares were surrendered/disposed to cover tax withholding at $208.27 per share, totaling $55,816.
  • These actions are awards and a conversion with tax withholding — not an open-market sale or purchase for investment purposes.

Context

  • This was primarily an award/grant and conversion event with shares withheld for taxes — a common administrative step following vesting/exercise. It is not an open-market sale that signals a manager taking proceeds to the market.
  • For retail investors: purchases can be a stronger buy signal than routine withholding. Here, the key point is new awards granted and a partial surrender of shares to meet tax obligations; no large market sell or open-market buy was reported.
