SIGA EVP Dennis Hruby Receives RSUs; Shares Withheld for Taxes

What Happened

  • Dennis E. Hruby, EVP & Chief Scientific Officer of SIGA Technologies (SIGA), had restricted stock units (RSUs) vest on March 13, 2026. The filing shows a grant/award conversion of 54,942 RSUs into common stock (reported at $0.00). To satisfy tax withholding on the vesting, the issuer withheld 3,955 shares at the closing price of $5.26, a withholding value of $20,803.
  • The filing also reports derivative-related entries (coded "M") at $0.00, which reflect the conversion/exercise of derivative awards into shares in connection with the vesting. This was not a cash purchase or open-market sale — it was an issuance from vested RSUs (a routine, non-speculative compensation event).
