Alphabet (GOOGL) John K. Walker Receives 10,631 Shares; Tax Withheld

What Happened

• John K. Walker, President, Global Affairs and Chief Legal Officer of Alphabet, had Google Stock Units (GSUs) vest on Sept 25, 2026. The filing shows a conversion of GSUs into 10,631 Class C shares (acquired).
• To satisfy tax obligations tied to the vesting, three withholding/disposition transactions show a total of 10,729 shares disposed at $339.01 per share, generating about $3,637,238 in cash (individual payments: $1,624,197; $1,456,726; $556,315).
• This appears to be routine vesting and tax-withholding, not an open-market sale or a separate purchase.
