Key Details

  • Transaction date: June 1, 2026; Form 4 filed June 3, 2026 (within the standard reporting window).
  • Withheld: 27,598 shares at $170.44 per share; total ~$4.70 million.
  • Transaction code: F — shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding on vested restricted stock (footnote F1).
  • Ownership disclosure (footnote F2): 33,688,936 shares are held by Penske Automotive Holdings Corp. (a Penske Corp. subsidiary) and 492,185 shares by Penske Corporation. Mr. Penske disclaims beneficial ownership of those indirect holdings except to the extent of any pecuniary interest.

Context
Withholding shares to cover taxes upon restricted stock vesting is a common administrative action and usually not interpreted as a market-timing signal. As a reported 10% owner with substantial indirect holdings through related entities, this filing reflects an internal tax settlement rather than a change in investment stance by an executive.
