Zoetis (ZTS) EVP Jamie Brannan Exercises RSUs, Sells Shares for Taxes
What Happened
- Jamie Brannan, Executive Vice President of Zoetis (ZTS), had restricted stock units (RSUs) convert to common shares on Feb 6 and Feb 8, 2026 (total ~909 shares: 529 + 380). To satisfy tax withholding, 249 shares (Feb 6) and 179 shares (Feb 8) were transferred/sold at $127.42 each for proceeds of $31,728 and $22,808, respectively (total $54,536). The filings show the RSU conversions (derivative exercises/conversions) and the related share dispositions for tax withholding — routine, not an open-market investment decision.
Key Details
- Transaction dates: Feb 6, 2026 and Feb 8, 2026.
- RSU conversions (code M): ~529 and ~380 shares converted into common stock.
- Tax withholding/dispositions (code F): 249 shares on Feb 6 and 179 shares on Feb 8 at $127.42 each; proceeds $31,728 and $22,808 (total $54,536).
- Shares owned after these transactions: not specified in the provided filing data.
- Footnotes: RSUs settled upon vesting (each RSU = 1 share) and tied to prior grant dates/vesting schedules (see F1, F3–F5, F7–F8). The disposition entries reflect withholding to satisfy tax obligations.
- Filing timeliness: Form filed Feb 10, 2026 reporting Feb 6 and Feb 8 activity; no explicit late-filing flag was provided in the supplied data.
Context
- These entries reflect RSU vesting and share withholding to cover taxes (a routine administrative step). The filings show conversion of RSU derivatives and internal withholding rather than a discretionary open-market sale.
- For retail investors: tax-withholding sales like this are common after RSU vesting and generally should not be interpreted as a deliberate bearish signal by the insider.
