WisdomTree (WT) President Lilien Jarrett Exercises and Sells Shares

What Happened

  • Lilien R. Jarrett, President and COO of WisdomTree (WT), had performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs) vest and convert into 350,395 shares on Jan 27, 2026. The reported exercise/conversion price was $0.00 (these were PRSUs, not option purchases).
  • The filing shows 179,207 shares were withheld by the issuer to cover tax withholding. The filing also reports a disposition of vested/converted shares (reported as a derivative disposition), indicating the vested shares were subsequently transferred/sold the same day. No cash amounts are reported for the exercise conversion (value shown $0).

Key Details

  • Transaction date: 2026-01-27; Filing date: 2026-01-29 (timely filing).
  • Reported acquisitions: 350,395 shares via exercise/conversion (code M) at $0.00.
  • Reported dispositions: 179,207 shares withheld for taxes (code F) and a disposition of 350,395 shares (code M, derivative).
  • Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the excerpt provided.
  • Relevant footnotes:
    • F5: These PRSUs were granted Jan 25, 2023 and vested Jan 25, 2026; performance metric (relative TSR) resulted in 199% payout, producing the 350,395 vested shares.
    • F4: The 179,207 shares were withheld by the issuer to cover withholding taxes.
    • F1–F3/F2 provide background on PRSUs, dividend reinvestment (14,710 PRSUs), and other scheduled restricted awards.
  • Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative; F = shares withheld to cover tax liability.

Context

  • These were performance-based RSU-like awards (PRSUs) that vested based on WisdomTree’s relative total shareholder return over a 3-year period. Vesting payout was 199% of target per the company’s valuation and compensation committee.
  • The combination of an exercise/conversion line, a tax-withholding line, and a same-day disposition suggests a cashless settlement/transfer of the vested shares (common for vested equity awards). These are routine, compensation-related transactions and do not by themselves indicate a personal bullish or bearish signal.

Based on a report issued by an independent valuation specialist and certified by the Issuer's compensation committee on January 27, 2026, the Relative TSR measured in the 84.62nd percentile, resulting in the vesting of 199% of the target number of PRSUs.
