What Happened
Lorelei Evans, Senior Vice President and CHRO of Myers Industries (MYE), had restricted stock units (RSUs) vest on March 16, 2026 and converted them into common shares. A total of 5,805 RSUs converted into 5,805 shares (1,487 + 1,719 + 2,599). To cover tax withholding, 1,720 shares were surrendered at $20.81 each, resulting in tax withholding of $35,793. These transactions are reported as derivative conversions (code M) and tax withholding/share surrender (code F).

Key Details

• Transaction date: March 16, 2026. Filing date: March 18, 2026 (filed timely).
• Converted (acquired) shares: 5,805 total (from three vested RSU tranches: 1,487; 1,719; 2,599).
• Shares withheld for taxes (disposed): 441, 509, and 770 shares respectively — total 1,720 shares at $20.81 each. Total withheld value: $35,793.
• Footnotes: RSUs convert one-for-one into common stock; the vested shares came from grants made in 2023, 2024, and 2025 with scheduled three-year vesting.
• Shares owned after the transaction are not specified in the provided filing.

Context

• This was a scheduled RSU vesting and conversion, not an open-market purchase or an active sale; the disposal entries reflect share withholding to satisfy tax obligations (a common, routine practice).
• Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative award (RSU conversion), F = payment of exercise price or tax liability via share withholding.
• Because the filing reports vesting and tax withholding (not a discretionary sale), it should be viewed as routine compensation settlement rather than an independent bullish or bearish insider trade.
