Crocs (CROX) CEO Andrew Rees Receives RSU Award; Shares Withheld

What Happened

  • Andrew Rees, CEO of Crocs, was granted 207,853 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-03-10. The RSUs are contingent rights to receive one share per RSU subject to vesting conditions.
  • Following the grant, 55,419 RSUs were cancelled on 2026-03-11 because certain performance metrics were not achieved (disposition to issuer, $0.00). Separately, the issuer withheld 7,267 shares on 2026-03-11 (valued at $80.40 per share, $584,267) and 6,687 shares on 2026-03-12 (valued at $79.63 per share, $532,486) to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon vesting.

Context

  • These were compensation-related RSU transactions (an award and subsequent withholding/cancellation), not open-market buys or sales. Share withholding to cover taxes is routine and does not represent a market sale by the insider.
  • The cancellation of a portion of the award reflects unmet performance conditions and reduces the eventual number of shares that may vest.
  • RSU grants signal compensation alignment with company goals but do not, by themselves, indicate CEO buying or selling behavior.
