JBHT Chief Accounting Officer John Kuhlow Exercises Options, Sells 4,471 Shares
What Happened
- John Kuhlow, Chief Accounting Officer of Hunt J B Transport Services, exercised stock option/derivative awards on 2026-01-31 to acquire a total of 10,307 common shares (reported as multiple "M" conversion entries at $0.00).
- To satisfy tax withholding obligations, 4,471 of those shares were disposed (reported under code "F") at $202.72 per share, generating proceeds of $906,362. The net increase in Kuhlow’s owned shares from these transactions is 5,836 shares (10,307 acquired minus 4,471 withheld/sold).
- This pattern is a routine cashless exercise / tax-withholding settlement rather than an open-market discretionary sale.
Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-01-31; Form 4 filed: 2026-02-02 (appears timely — two business days after the transaction).
- Price for withheld/disposed shares: $202.72 per share; total proceeds recorded for tax withholding: $906,362.
- Shares acquired via conversion/exercise (M): 2,029 + 1,860 + 2,197 + 1,731 + 2,490 = 10,307.
- Shares disposed to cover taxes (F): 880 + 807 + 953 + 751 + 1,080 = 4,471.
- Net shares retained: 5,836.
- Footnotes/filing notes: Transactions coded M = exercise/conversion of derivative; F = payment of exercise price or tax liability (shares withheld/sold). No 10b5-1 plan or late-file note provided in the filing.
Context
- For retail investors: this is a common cashless option exercise pattern — options were converted into stock and a portion of the resulting shares were surrendered/sold to cover tax obligations. Such transactions are typically administrative/tax-driven and do not by themselves indicate the insider’s view of the company’s near-term prospects.
- The filing shows the mechanics and net share change; it does not state Kuhlow’s total holdings after the transactions beyond the net increase shown here.
