What Happened
Joseph T. Morrissey Jr., Interim CEO of Organon & Co., was granted 333,889 restricted stock units (RSUs) on March 31, 2026 (an award valued at about $1.90M based on Organon’s $5.70 close on March 30, 2026). On the same date, previously awarded RSUs vested and converted into common stock: 7,795 and 16,789 shares (total 24,584) were converted (reported as derivative-to-stock exercises at $0 exercise price). To satisfy tax withholding obligations, 2,221 and 4,784 shares (total 7,005) were withheld/sold at $5.70 per share, yielding $12,660 and $27,269 (total $39,929).
Key Details

Context
- RSUs are awards that convert into shares when they vest; the $0 exercise price and the “M” code reflect conversion of RSUs/derivatives, not an open-market purchase.
- The “F” entries reflect shares withheld/sold to satisfy tax withholding obligations—a routine administrative step, not a discretionary open‑market sale.
- These transactions are awards and vesting activity rather than a signal of a market trade by the insider.
