Arq (ARQ) COO Jeremy Williamson Receives Vested PSUs
What Happened
- Jeremy Williamson, Chief Operating Officer of Arq, had 68,600 performance share units (PSUs) vest on February 27, 2026. Those vested PSUs converted into shares of Arq common stock. To satisfy tax withholding obligations, 18,282 shares were withheld at $3.51 per share, representing $64,170. The Form 4 also lists a related conversion entry of 51,467 shares (see footnotes for award details).
- This was a vesting/settlement of equity compensation (an award conversion), not an open-market purchase or discretionary sale. Withholding to cover taxes is routine and does not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment.

- PSUs are performance-based equity awards that convert to stock when performance and time-based conditions are met. The filing shows conversion/settlement of PSUs into shares and standard withholding to cover tax liabilities (a common, administrative disposition).
- For retail investors, vesting events are routine compensation settlements and should not be treated the same as open-market insider purchases or discretionary sales.
