KBR CEO Bradie Stuart Receives Award; Withholds Shares to Pay Taxes

What Happened

  • Bradie Stuart, President, CEO and Director of KBR (KBR), had 23,430 performance shares vest on 2026-02-26 as the company’s 2023 Long‑Term Performance Cash & Stock Award met its total shareholder return metric. The award shares were granted at $0.00.
  • To satisfy withholding taxes on the vesting, 11,032 of those shares were withheld/disposed at $42.04 per share, producing $463,785 in consideration. Net shares added to his holdings from this vesting were 12,398 (23,430 granted minus 11,032 withheld).

Context

  • This was a performance-based award vesting, not an open‑market purchase or a voluntary sale. Withholding shares to cover taxes is a routine administrative step and not necessarily an indicator of insider sentiment.
  • The disposition reported here reflects tax withholding (common in cashless/withholding settlements), not an active decision to liquidate holdings for cash beyond satisfying tax obligations.
