Ginkgo (DNA) CFO Steven Coen Sells 307 Shares After RSU Vesting

What Happened

Steven P. Coen, Chief Financial Officer of Ginkgo Bioworks (DNA), had restricted stock units (RSUs) convert into common shares on May 21, 2026 (two conversion/settlement entries for 587 and 156 shares; total 743 shares). Following the vesting, 307 shares were sold in an open-market transaction on May 22, 2026 at $8.33 per share for total proceeds of $2,559. The filing indicates the sale was to cover tax withholding obligations related to the RSU vesting.
