Insulet (PODD) SVP John W. Kapples Receives Awards; 263 Shares Withheld
What Happened
- John W. Kapples, Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Insulet Corp (PODD), received equity awards on Feb 24, 2026: 1,885 restricted stock units (RSUs) and a grant of 4,907 non‑qualified stock options. Both awards show an acquisition price of $0 (they are compensation grants).
- On Feb 25, 2026, 263 shares were withheld (disposed) to cover tax withholding associated with RSU vesting at a reported price of $248.12 per share, totaling $65,256. This withholding is a routine tax payment rather than an open‑market sale.

- Transaction dates/prices:
- 2026-02-24: Award of 1,885 RSUs (A) — $0 acquisition price (F1).
- 2026-02-24: Grant of 4,907 non‑qualified stock options (derivative, A) — $0 acquisition price (F3).

- Relevant footnotes:
- F1: RSUs vest in roughly equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries and settle one‑for‑one in common shares.
- F2: The 263‑share disposal represents withholding of vested RSU shares to cover tax obligations.
- F3: Options vest in roughly equal installments over four years.
- Filing/timeliness: Form filed Feb 26, 2026 for transactions on Feb 24–25, 2026 — appears timely.
Context
- These actions are compensation-related grants (awards) rather than open‑market purchases or voluntary sales. The withheld shares reflect a tax withholding mechanism common when RSUs vest and do not necessarily signal a change in the insider’s view of the company.
- The option grant is a future right to buy shares subject to vesting; it was granted, not exercised.
