What Happened
- Joel Bender, a 10% owner of Cactus, Inc. (WHD), had previously granted restricted stock units (RSUs) vest and convert into common shares on March 10–11, 2026. Those conversions produced 22,634 underlying shares in total (7,638; 6,711; 8,285).

Context
- This activity is largely administrative: conversion of vested RSUs and standard share withholding to cover tax liabilities (a routine, non‑cashless sale). The new 27,218‑RSU grant is a forward-looking award that vests over time and does not represent an immediate purchase or sale. As a 10% owner (not a named executive in this summary), these transactions reflect equity compensation mechanics rather than an open‑market buy or sell signal.
