Walia Vicki 4

What Happened

• Vicki Walia, Executive Vice President of Prudential Financial (PRU), had 5,033 restricted stock units (RSUs) vest and convert to common stock on January 31, 2026. Of those, 1,872 shares were withheld to cover taxes at $111.11 per share (value $207,998). Net new shares retained by Walia were 3,161.
• This was a vesting/award event (routine compensation), not an open-market purchase or voluntary sale. The filing shows the RSUs converted 1:1 to common stock and the company withheld shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

Context

• This was a vesting and conversion of RSUs with share withholding to cover tax liability (transaction codes: M = derivative exercise/conversion; F = tax withholding). Withholding of shares for taxes is routine and does not necessarily indicate insider sentiment; it is not the same as an open-market sale by the insider.
• Using the $111.11 per-share figure used for withholding, the 3,161 net shares represent roughly $351,200 of stock (approximate). Purchases generally carry more weight as bullish signals; this filing reflects compensation vesting and tax withholding.
