CenterPoint (CNP) SVP Kristie Colvin Receives Award; Shares Withheld for Taxes

What Happened

Kristie Colvin, Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of CenterPoint Energy (CNP), had performance shares vest on Feb 19, 2026. She was awarded 25,646 shares (reported as an award at $0.00 per share).
To satisfy tax withholding on the vesting, 9,726 shares were withheld/disposed on the same date (6,719 shares and 3,007 shares) at $42.64 per share, generating proceeds/withholdings of $286,498 and $128,218 respectively (combined ≈ $414,716).

The award includes additional time‑based RSUs with staggered vesting in 2027–2029 and performance-based vesting conditions described in footnote F4.
