Abbott John S 4

What Happened

• John S. Abbott, Senior Vice President, Manufacturing Platform, had 1,625 restricted stock units (RSUs) convert to common shares on Feb 6, 2026 (reported Feb 9, 2026). The company withheld 763 of those shares to cover tax withholding at $87.83 per share, totaling $67,014. That results in a net issuance of 862 shares to Abbott.
• The filing shows multiple derivative-conversion entries (400, 450, 350, 425 shares) that sum to the 1,625 RSUs. Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (RSU vesting/conversion); F = shares withheld to pay taxes.
