Certara (CERT) President Leif Pedersen Receives Award

What Happened

  • Leif E. Pedersen, President and Chief Commercial Officer of Certara, recorded derivative awards on May 11, 2026: three grants totaling 253,533 units (68,348 + 74,074 + 111,111). All were recorded at $0.00 per unit (derivative awards), and the filing also shows a disposition to the issuer of 68,348 shares with $0 proceeds. The disposition to the issuer is commonly a share surrender to satisfy tax withholding on awards; the filing’s footnotes describe two PSU awards and one RSU award.

Context

  • RSUs are restricted stock units that convert to shares (or cash) when they vest; PSUs are performance stock units that pay out a number of shares between 0% and 200% of target depending on performance metrics and time horizons noted in the footnotes.
  • These entries are awards/grants (not open-market purchases or sales) and are part of compensation; such grants do not by themselves indicate the insider’s buying or selling sentiment.
