QuidelOrtho (QDEL) CFO Joseph Busky Receives RSU Award; Shares Withheld

What Happened

  • Joseph M. Busky, Chief Financial Officer of QuidelOrtho Corporation (QDEL), had 4,925 restricted stock units (RSUs) release/convert into 4,925 common shares on March 28, 2026 (reported as an award/acquisition). Of those shares, 1,519 were withheld by the company to satisfy tax-withholding obligations at a price of $14.78 per share, resulting in $22,451 withheld. The RSU conversion/exercise shows no cash exercise price.

Key Details

Context

  • This was not an open-market sale but a standard RSU vesting with share withholding to cover taxes (a routine administrative action, not necessarily a market sentiment signal).
  • The filing shows conversion of RSUs into shares with a portion withheld (cashless share withholding), not a voluntary sale by the insider.
