What Happened
- Christopher Hatto, Vice President & Chief Accounting Officer of General Motors, received a grant of 3,413 restricted stock units (RSUs) on Feb 3, 2026. The Form 4 shows conversion/exercise activity on Feb 4, 2026 and a tax withholding event in which 526 shares were surrendered at $86.29 per share to cover tax obligations ($45,389).
- The filing includes entries showing 1,965 derivative shares as both converted/acquired and disposed on Feb 4, 2026 (reported as derivative exercise/conversion). The primary economic effect reported is the RSU grant and the share withholding to satisfy taxes—routine compensation-related transactions rather than an open-market buy or sale.

Context
- RSUs are compensation awards that convert into shares (one-for-one) upon vesting; companies commonly withhold shares to meet tax obligations—this withholding (F-code) is routine and does not necessarily indicate buying or selling intent in the open market.
- The Form 4 shows derivative conversion/exercise entries; this reflects conversion/settlement mechanics for RSUs rather than an option cash purchase.
