NeuroPace CEO Joel Becker Withholds 1,126 Shares for Taxes

What Happened
Joel Becker, CEO of NeuroPace, had 1,126 shares withheld by the company on August 27, 2026 to satisfy tax withholding tied to the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs). The shares were valued at $14.13 each, for a total of $15,910. This was a tax-withholding disposition (Form 4 code F), not an open-market sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: August 27, 2026; filing date: August 28, 2026 (timely filed).
• Withheld shares: 1,126 at $14.13 per share; total value reported $15,910.
• Transaction code: F (shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations).
• Footnote: Withholding was executed by the issuer to cover tax on vested RSUs.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing details.

Context
Tax-withholding share dispositions are routine when RSUs vest and do not indicate a decision to sell shares on the market. They reduce the number of shares the insider receives rather than represent a market-driven sale.
