ServiceNow (NOW) Paul Fipps Exercises RSUs, Sells Shares for Taxes
What Happened
- Paul Fipps, President, Global Customer Operations at ServiceNow, had restricted stock units (RSUs) vest and convert to common stock on May 7, 2026. A total of 390 RSUs were converted, and 156 of the resulting shares were surrendered to the company to satisfy tax withholding obligations (a "sell-to-cover"), generating $14,601 in withholding payments (128 shares x $93.59 = $11,980; 28 shares x $93.59 = $2,621). The net shares retained by Fipps after withholding were 234 shares.
- This was not an open-market sale or a purchase — it was routine vesting/conversion of RSUs with shares withheld for taxes.
