Prudential (PRU) Chairman Charles Lowrey Receives RSUs, Withholds Shares
What Happened
- Charles F. Lowrey, Chairman of the Board of Prudential Financial (PRU), had previously awarded restricted stock units (RSUs) convert to common shares and vest on February 28, 2026. A total of 31,985 RSUs vested (three tranches: 10,491; 11,086; 10,408) and converted 1:1 into common stock (transaction code M, exercise/conversion of derivative at $0.00 per share).
- To satisfy tax withholding obligations (transaction code F), 16,938 shares were withheld at a per-share withholding value of $98.38, producing aggregate gross proceeds of $1,666,361 (5,555 shares for $546,501; 5,871 shares for $577,589; 5,512 shares for $542,271).
- This was not an open-market sale by choice of the insider but routine tax withholding tied to RSU vesting (i.e., a cashless/withholding settlement), not a buy signal.
