ExlService (EXLS) EVP Vishal Chhibbar Receives RSUs; Shares Withheld
What Happened
Vishal Chhibbar, Executive Vice President of ExlService Holdings (EXLS), converted 5,587 restricted stock units (RSUs) into common stock on February 27, 2026. The conversion is reported as an exercise/conversion (code M) at $0.00 per share (RSUs convert one-for-one). To satisfy tax withholding, 3,088 of those shares were surrendered (reported as code F) at a withholding value of $30.99 per share, totaling $95,697. The filing shows the RSU conversion and the shares withheld — this is vesting/tax withholding, not an open-market sale or purchase.

Context
This was a scheduled RSU vesting event: 5,587 RSUs converted into shares and a portion was withheld to cover taxes (a common, routine practice). Because this is a conversion/withholding transaction, it doesn't necessarily signal a change in the insider's market view; it's the normal mechanics of equity compensation vesting.
