GARFINKLE DAVID 4

What Happened

• David Garfinkle, Chief Financial Officer of CoreCivic, reported the vesting of 62,781 restricted stock units (awarded/acquired) on Feb 20, 2026. To cover tax withholding obligations, 41,145 shares were surrendered/withheld at an indicated value of $16.74 per share, totaling about $688,767. The award line shows an acquisition at $0.00 because these were vested RSUs, not an open‑market purchase.

Context

• This was not an open‑market sale or purchase; it reflects RSU vesting with a cashless share withholding to cover taxes—a routine administrative transaction rather than a directional buy/sell signal. Routine withholding is common and does not necessarily indicate the insider’s view on company stock.
