WILLIAMSON JAMES ALLAN 4

What Happened
James Allan Williamson, President, CEO and a director of Everest Group (EG), had a total of 2,733 common shares withheld to cover tax obligations on vested restricted stock. The filing reports two withholding dispositions on 2026-03-02: 673 shares withheld at $338.00 each for $227,474, and 2,060 shares withheld at $338.00 each for $696,280 — a combined value of $923,754.

Context
Withholding shares to cover tax liabilities on vested restricted stock is a common, administrative action and should not be interpreted as the insider taking a market-view position. The underlying grants remain the relevant equity compensation; here portions of vested awards were used to satisfy tax obligations (partial withholding from each grant).
