What Happened

Ruth Porat, President and Chief Investment Officer of Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL), had Google Stock Units (GSUs) vest on March 25, 2026. The vesting resulted in the conversion of GSUs into shares: 8,994 shares were issued to her and 9,078 shares were surrendered/withheld to satisfy tax obligations.
The withheld shares were recorded as disposals at $289.20 per share, totaling $1,383,822 (4,785 shares) and $1,241,536 (4,293 shares), for a combined tax withholding of $2,625,358. This was vesting and tax-withholding activity, not an open-market sale or purchase.
