Key Details
- Transaction date: February 11, 2026; Form filed February 12, 2026.
- Conversion/exercise: 14,188 shares @ $0.00 (codes M — exercise/conversion of derivative).
- Tax withholding: 6,399 shares @ $32.07 = $205,216 (code F — payment of tax liability via share withholding).
- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing.
- Relevant footnotes: F1 = shares withheld for tax; F2–F4 indicate these were restricted stock unit (RSU)-related (dividend equivalents accrued, 1 RSU = 1 share or cash at Dana’s election, RSUs vest in three equal annual installments starting on the first anniversary).
- Filing timing: reported on 2026-02-12 for a 2026-02-11 transaction (next‑day filing).
Context
- This appears to be a routine vesting/conversion of RSUs (or similar derivative awards) with a sell/withhold-to-cover of a portion of the shares to satisfy tax withholding — a common administrative step and not an open-market sell signal.
- For retail investors, conversions/vestings are neutral informational events; purchases are typically more indicative of bullish insider behavior.
