What Happened
- Kristy D. Banas, Chief Human Resources Officer of Willis Towers Watson (WTW), was granted 770.817 time‑based restricted share units (RSUs) on April 20, 2026 (acquisition code A; $0.00 per share). These RSUs represent the right to receive ordinary shares and will vest ratably over three years.
- On April 21, 2026, 105.085 shares were disposed/withheld (code F) at an implied value of $297.64 per share to satisfy tax withholding obligations, resulting in $31,277 of withholding. The withheld shares include 8 shares credited as dividend equivalents that were processed on April 21.

Context
- These RSUs are a compensation award (not an open‑market purchase) and vest over time, so they do not signal an immediate cash investment by the insider.
- The April 21 disposition is a routine tax‑withholding transaction (code F), not an open‑market sale; such withholdings are common when RSUs vest.
