Ridgepost Capital (RPC) 10% Owner Mel Williams Vests RSUs, Shares Withheld
What Happened
Mel Williams (reported as a 10% owner) had 45,599 restricted stock units (RSUs) vest on Feb 14, 2026; those RSUs converted into shares with no exercise price. To cover tax withholding, 20,498 of the shares were surrendered. Net shares delivered to Williams from that vesting were 25,101 (45,599 vested minus 20,498 withheld). On Feb 17, 2026 Williams was also granted 146,370 new RSUs that vest on the first anniversary of the grant if he remains in service.
Key Details
- Transaction dates: RSU vesting/conversion and withholding recorded Feb 14, 2026; new RSU grant on Feb 17, 2026. Form 4 filed Feb 18, 2026 (appears timely).
- Prices: RSUs convert at $0.00 exercise price (no cash paid by the insider). No market-dollar values were provided in the filing.
- Shares involved: 45,599 RSUs vested; 20,498 shares withheld for taxes; net 25,101 shares retained by Williams. 146,370 RSUs were newly granted (subject to 1-year vesting).
- Shares owned after transaction: the Form 4 does not state a total post-transaction beneficial ownership figure.
- Footnotes of note: F1 clarifies each RSU = right to one Class A share at vesting; F4 confirms the 45,599 RSUs were a prior grant that vested on its first anniversary; F5 confirms the 146,370 RSU grant vests after one year of continued service. F3 notes some securities are owned by the Williams Trust (trustee: Alliance Trust Co.) and the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership except for his pecuniary interest.
Context
- These transactions are RSU vesting and a follow-on RSU grant, not open-market buys or sales. The tax withholding (F code) is routine for vested awards and does not indicate a market-sale decision by the insider.
- As a reported 10% owner, Williams’s holdings may include direct and trust-held shares; the filing includes trust-related disclosures but does not enumerate total holdings.
- For retail investors: vested RSUs are a form of compensation converting to shares (no out-of-pocket exercise cost), while the new RSU grant is a forward-looking compensation award subject to vesting conditions.
