Affirm (AFRM) COO Michael Linford Receives 2,336 RSUs
What Happened
- Michael Linford, COO of Affirm Holdings (AFRM), had 2,336 restricted stock units (RSUs) vest on July 1, 2026. The RSUs converted into common shares (reported as derivative conversion, code M).
- To satisfy tax withholding obligations (code F), 972 of those shares were withheld at a per-share rate of $83.85, generating $81,502 in withholding. That leaves approximately 1,364 net shares delivered to Linford. The reported exercise/conversion price is $0.00 because these were RSU settlements rather than option purchases.
Key Details

Context
- This was a routine equity award vesting (RSU settlement) rather than an open-market buy or sale. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is common for RSU settlements and does not by itself indicate a buy/sell signal.
- Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of a derivative (here, RSU settlement), F = payment of exercise price or tax liability (here, share withholding for taxes).
