Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-02-11; Form 4 filed 2026-02-12 (no late filing indicated in the provided data).
- Conversions/exercises: 10,104 shares and 227 shares reported as exercised/converted (transaction code M) at $0.00 (these represent vested RSUs converting to common stock).
- Tax withholding: 3,100 shares surrendered (transaction code F) at $32.07/share = $99,417 withheld to cover tax obligations.
- Net shares from the vesting: ~7,231 shares (10,331 − 3,100).
- Footnotes: F1 = shares withheld for tax; F2–F4 = dividend equivalents and RSU terms (each RSU equals one share or cash at Dana's election; RSUs vest per grant terms—note F4 that these RSUs vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant).
Context
- This was a routine vesting/conversion of RSUs, not an open-market purchase or voluntary sale. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is common and does not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment.
- Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (here, RSU conversion), F = payment of exercise price or tax liability (share withholding).
- For retail investors: purchases or open-market buys are generally more informative about insider confidence; this filing documents compensation-related vesting and routine tax withholding.
