WATTS COO Andre Dhawan Receives Award; Shares Sold for Taxes

What Happened

  • Andre Dhawan, Chief Operating Officer of Watts Water Technologies (WTS), received 1,059 shares on February 9, 2026 as the vesting of performance stock units (reported as an award/acquisition). Simultaneously, 329 shares were disposed (code F) to satisfy tax withholding obligations at a reported per-share value of $319.76, yielding $105,201.
  • The award is non-cash (listed at $0.00 acquisition price on the Form 4) because it represents vested performance stock units rather than an open‑market purchase. The share disposal was not an open-market sale for profit but a required tax-withholding action under the grant agreement.
