Willis Towers Watson (WTW) — Julie Gebauer Receives Performance RSUs
What Happened

- Per the footnote, these RSUs were earned after certification of performance goals for the period ending December 31, 2025.

Context
- This is a compensation award (earned performance RSUs), not an open-market purchase or sale. Such grants reflect prior performance measurement and standard executive compensation mechanics; the RSUs convert to ordinary shares only after the service-based vesting date (April 1, 2026) and subject to the award terms.
- Awards like this are common and do not by themselves indicate a buy/sell signal; they increase potential future share holdings if vesting conditions are met.
