GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL (GIC) CFO Clark Surrenders Shares, Buys via ESPP

What Happened

Clark Thomas Eugene, Chief Financial Officer of Global Industrial Co. (GIC), had 3,223 shares surrendered to satisfy tax withholding on vested restricted stock units (RSUs). Those surrendered lots were: 1,439 shares, 381 shares, and 1,403 shares, each priced at $32.98 for total value surrendered of ~$106,294.
On the same date (March 2, 2026) he acquired 371 shares through the company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) at $28.64 per share for $10,624. The ESPP purchase is an acquisition (discounted plan) and is reported separately from the RSU tax withholding.

Key Details

Transaction date: March 2, 2026; Form 4 filed March 3, 2026 (timely).
Surrenders for tax withholding: 1,439 @ $32.98 = $47,458; 381 @ $32.98 = $12,565; 1,403 @ $32.98 = $46,271. These are tax-withholding dispositions tied to RSU vesting.
ESPP purchase: 371 @ $28.64 = $10,624. Footnote states the ESPP purchase was based on 85% of the closing price and is exempt under Rule 16b-3(c).
Shares owned after the transactions: not specified in the supplied filing details.
Footnotes: F1–F3 confirm the surrendered shares were to cover tax liabilities from RSUs granted on 2/21/2023, 2/28/2024, and 2/25/2025. F4–F5 describe the ESPP purchase mechanics and exemption.
Transaction codes: F = tax withholding (disposition), J = other acquisition (ESPP). No indication of a 10b5-1 sale plan or late filing.

Context

Surrendering shares to cover RSU taxes is a routine administrative action (not an open-market sale) where vested shares are withheld to satisfy taxes.
The ESPP purchase is a discounted employee benefit (here at 85% of the closing price), which is a common way insiders acquire shares and is generally treated differently from market purchases for signaling purposes.
The filing appears routine and timely; these entries reflect compensation-plan activity rather than an executive-initiated market sale.
