Artiva (ARTV) COO Jennifer Bush Receives RSU Award

What Happened

  • Jennifer Bush, Artiva Biotherapeutics' COO (also CLO, Secretary, Compliance Officer), received a restricted stock unit (RSU) award of 117,300 shares on 2026-02-15. The award is reported as an A (award/grant) with $0.00 per-share acquisition price.
  • To satisfy income tax withholding tied to the RSU vesting, 3,515 shares were withheld (reported as F — tax withholding) at $4.00 per share, totaling $14,060. After withholding, the net shares from this grant equal 113,785 (117,300 − 3,515).
  • This was an equity award (not an open-market purchase or a sale); such grants are routine compensation rather than an immediate bullish bet.

Context

  • RSU grants are a form of compensation that convert to company shares according to vesting terms; they are not purchases and generally don't alone indicate insider market sentiment.
  • The withholding of shares to cover taxes is a common administrative step (a form of disposition for tax purposes) and is routine when RSUs vest.
