Eagle Materials CEO Michael Haack Exercises Options, Receives RSUs

What Happened

  • Michael Haack, President & CEO and a director of Eagle Materials (EXP), exercised options on May 22, 2026 to acquire 3,527 shares at an exercise-related price of $199.13 per share (cash cost reported as $702,332). To satisfy withholding for taxes/exercise cost, 1,388 shares were surrendered/disposed (valued at $199.13 each, ~$276,392).

Context

  • This was effectively a cash exercise with share withholding: Haack paid the exercise-related amount (reported via the $199.13 price) to convert his derivative awards into 3,527 underlying shares, and a portion (1,388 shares) was withheld to cover taxes/charges — a common, administrative way to satisfy tax liabilities rather than a market sale for discretionary reasons.
  • The RSU grants are time-based awards that vest over multi-year schedules and do not represent an immediate cash transaction; they are not direct buy/sell signals on their own.
