TXNM Energy CEO Joseph Don Tarry: RSUs Vest; Shares Sold for Taxes
What Happened
- Joseph Don Tarry, President, CEO and Director of TXNM Energy (TXNM), had previously granted restricted stock rights (RSUs) vest effective March 7, 2026. A total of 7, and/or grouped, 7,248 underlying shares were settled through conversion of those RSU awards (entries show conversions of 1,700; 2,424; and 3,124 shares).
- To satisfy tax withholding on the settlement, the company withheld/sold 770, 1,097 and 1,414 shares (3,281 shares total) at $58.88 per share, generating proceeds of $45,338; $64,591; and $83,256 respectively — about $193,185 in total. The derivative conversions are reported at $0 exercise price because these were RSU settlements, not option purchases.

- Relevant footnotes:
- F1/F3: These were previously awarded restricted stock rights; each right converts to one share.
- F2: The company uses a modified share-withholding approach — it withholds cash for taxes and directs a broker to buy shares on the open market; only the net shares are delivered to the recipient.
- F4: These RSUs vest in three equal annual installments (this vesting event was one installment).
- No 10b5-1 plan or late-filing indication reported in the excerpt.
Context
- This was a standard RSU vesting and tax-withholding settlement, not an open-market sale made to take a position. The reporting shows a cashless/net-share settlement to satisfy tax obligations rather than an independent discretionary stock sale by the insider.
- For retail investors: purchases or direct buys by insiders are often viewed as stronger bullish signals than routine vesting events with withholding. This filing documents routine compensation settlement and tax withholding.
