What Happened

  • Steven Bender, Chief Operating Officer of Cactus, Inc. (WHD), received a grant of 14,290 restricted stock units (RSUs) on March 10, 2026.
  • Related to vesting/conversion activity on March 10–11, 2026, a total of 13,581 shares were converted/issued (4,583 + 4,027 + 4,971). To satisfy tax withholding obligations, the company withheld 1,804, 1,585 and 1,957 shares at prices around $48.56–$48.60, generating proceeds of $87,674, $77,031 and $95,032 respectively (total withheld value $259,737). The conversion entries are reported as derivative exercises/conversions (M) and the withholding/sale entries as tax withholding (F). This is issuance and tax-withholding activity—not an open-market sale or purchase.
