What Happened
- David L. Gitlin, Chairman and CEO of Carrier Global Corporation, had 90,872 shares of Carrier common stock issued to him on 2026-02-01 upon the vesting of performance share units (PSUs). Those PSUs were originally granted on February 1, 2023 and vested after performance targets were met.
- To satisfy tax withholding obligations tied to the vesting, 35,797 shares were treated as disposed/withheld at an average value of $59.58 per share, totaling about $2,132,785. The issuance of the 90,872 shares is recorded as an award/acquisition (code A); the share withholding for taxes is reported under code F.

Context
- This was not an open‑market sale signaling sentiment: the share disposition was a routine tax-withholding event tied to PSU vesting (common when equity awards vest). The primary economic event is the vesting of long-term incentive PSUs following achievement of performance goals.
