Hill George 4

What happened

• George Hill, Chief Retail Officer of Five Below (FIVE), had 1,361 shares withheld on Jan 23, 2026 to satisfy an exercise price or tax liability (value reported: 1,361 shares × $190.37 = $259,094). He also acquired 30 shares on Dec 31, 2025 at $169.52 each (30 × $169.52 = $5,086). The withholding is a tax/payment-related disposition, not an open-market sale.

Key details

• Transactions and prices:

• Shares owned after the reported transactions: not specified in the filing.
• Footnote: the filing notes the purchase was under a Stock Purchase Plan exempt under Rule 16b-3(c).
• Timeliness: Form 4 was filed on Jan 27, 2026 for a Jan 23, 2026 report date; this filing date meets the typical Form 4 deadline (filed by the second business day).

Context

• The 1,361-share disposition reflects tax withholding/payment related to an equity event (e.g., option exercise or purchase) rather than a market sale; that means it is generally administrative and not a directional bet on the stock.
• The 30-share purchase under a company stock purchase plan is a small personal purchase and, while a purchase is often more informative than a sale, the size here is minor.
