Kirby Corp VP William Woodruff Exercises RSUs; Shares Withheld for Taxes
What Happened
William Matthew Woodruff, Vice President of Public and Government Affairs at Kirby Corp (KEX), had 394 restricted stock units (RSUs vest) on January 24, 2026. The RSUs converted into 394 shares (exercise/conversion reported at $0.00 per share). To satisfy tax withholding, 167 of those shares were withheld/disposed at an implied value of $128.70 per share, totaling $21,493. The result is a net delivery of 227 shares to Woodruff (394 − 167 = 227).

Context
- This was a routine RSU vesting and tax-withholding event (not an open-market buy or sale). The exercise/conversion at $0.00 reflects RSU settlement rather than a stock-option purchase price. Withholding shares to cover taxes is common and does not by itself indicate a change in insider sentiment.
