RHODES MICHAEL GEORGE 4

What Happened

• Michael G. Rhodes, CEO of Ally Financial (ALLY), was granted an award of 99,291 restricted stock units (RSUs) valued at $4,200,009 (99,291 × $42.30) on 2026-02-03.
• Separately, 10,765 shares were withheld by the company on 2026-01-30 to satisfy the reporting person's tax obligation related to a previously reported RSU vesting; those withheld shares were disposed at $42.30 for $455,359.
• The grant (acquisition) is an award of RSUs (an acquisition — often viewed as compensation rather than an open-market buy). The withholding is a routine tax-related disposition.

Context

• These RSUs are compensation-related awards (not open-market purchases). The withholding of shares to cover taxes is a common, routine transaction and does not necessarily signal a change in the CEO’s view of the stock.
• For retail investors, purchases or outright open-market acquisitions can be stronger signals of personal conviction than compensation grants; this filing mainly documents compensation and tax withholding.
