Kratos (KTOS) SVP Marie Mendoza Receives RSU Awards; Shares Withheld

What Happened

Marie Mendoza, SVP & General Counsel of Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (KTOS), had three Performance Restricted Stock Unit (PRSU) awards settle on March 4, 2026, resulting in the issuance of 15,834 shares (5,000; 5,000; and 5,834). Those awards were reported at $0 acquisition price because they were grants/settlements.
To satisfy tax withholding obligations, a total of 8,541 shares were withheld and reported as disposals at $89.13 per share (2,697; 2,697; and 3,147), totaling approximately $761,260 withheld. This is a net tax-withholding/net settlement (routine), not an open-market sell for investment purposes.

Context

This was a PRSU settlement with net share withholding to cover taxes (common and administrative). The filing shows awarded shares and the withholding disposition; it does not represent an open-market sale or a purchase decision by the insider.
Such tax-withholding dispositions are routine and should not be interpreted as a directional insider trade signal on their own.
