Rothka John 4

What Happened
John Rothka, Chief Accounting Officer of Core Natural Resources (CNR), received a grant of 760 restricted stock units (RSUs on 2026-02-17; the filing reports the award at $0.00). On 2026-02-18, 97 shares were withheld (disposed) to satisfy tax liabilities from prior RSU vesting, reported at $88.96 per share for a total of $8,629. The RSU grant is compensation, not a market purchase.

• Shares owned after transaction: 9,970 shares reported total; 1,312 of those are unvested RSUs (per filing footnote).

Context
RSU grants are standard executive compensation and vest over time; they are not the same as an open-market purchase. The 97-share disposal was a tax-withholding action (common and routine) and should not be interpreted as an independent sale for investment purposes. Purchases would typically be considered a clearer bullish signal than compensation-related grants.
