Bernal Maya 4

What Happened
Bernal Maya, Chief Accounting Officer of AST SpaceMobile (ASTS), had 833 shares of Class A common stock withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations tied to the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs). The withheld shares were valued at $82.51 each, for a total of $68,731. This was a tax-withholding disposition (transaction code F), not an open-market sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-15; Filing date: 2026-02-17 (appears timely).
• Withheld: 833 shares at $82.51 per share; total value ≈ $68,731.
• Footnote: The withholding was to cover taxes on RSUs representing 3,000 shares; net vested from that grant = 2,167 shares (3,000 granted − 833 withheld).
• Transaction code: F (payment of tax liability by withholding securities).
• Total beneficial ownership after this filing is not specified in the provided filing (the 2,167 figure refers to net shares vested from this particular grant).

Context
This was a routine tax-withholding action tied to RSU vesting (a cashless disposition to cover taxes), which is administrative and does not necessarily indicate the insider's view on the company's stock. For retail investors, outright purchases by insiders are generally more indicative of positive sentiment; tax withholdings are common following awards and should be interpreted as compensation-related rather than market-driven.
