UPS Kathleen M. Gutmann (Pres Intl, Healthcare & SCS) Exercises RSUs, Sells Shares
What Happened
- Kathleen M. Gutmann, President — International, Healthcare and SCS at United Parcel Service (UPS), had 1,831 restricted performance units (RPUs) vest and convert into common shares on Feb 13, 2026. Of those shares, 872 were withheld/sold to cover tax obligations at $99.19 per share, generating $86,494 in tax withholding. The vesting therefore resulted in a net increase of 959 shares to her holdings.

Context
- This is a standard equity compensation vesting event. The RPUs were earned and converted to shares upon performance certification, and a portion was withheld to cover taxes (commonly done instead of a cash tax payment).
- Such tax-withholding dispositions are routine and do not necessarily indicate a change in the insider’s market view. Purchases would be a stronger bullish signal; this filing reflects compensation settlement rather than a buy or sell decision.
