WESTBROOKS KRISTOPHER R 4

What Happened Kristopher R. Westbrooks, President & COO of Metallus, was granted 29,100 restricted stock units (award code A) on 2026-03-02 and, on 2026-03-01, had 8,207 shares disposed (code F) to cover tax liability at $17.00 per share, totaling $139,519. The 29,100-share award shows $0 cash paid (typical for RSU grants); the 8,207-share disposition appears to be tax withholding, not an open-market sale.

Key Details

• Transaction dates: 2026-03-01 (8,207 shares withheld at $17.00 each, $139,519) and 2026-03-02 (29,100 RSUs granted, $0 cash).
• Transaction codes: A = award/grant (acquisition of RSUs); F = payment of tax liability via share surrender.
• Shares owned after the transactions: Not disclosed in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnote: The 29,100 RSUs will vest in full on March 2, 2029, subject to the grant agreement.
• Filing date: 2026-03-02 (appears timely relative to the reported dates).

Context RSU grants are compensatory awards that vest over time; the granted 29,100 RSUs are not immediately liquid and will only convert to shares if vesting conditions are met. The 8,207-share disposition is a routine tax-withholding action common when awards are granted or vest and does not necessarily indicate a personal decision to sell shares on market.
