EPAM (EPAM) SVP Lawrence Solomon Receives RSU Award; Shares Withheld

What Happened

  • Lawrence F. Solomon, SVP & Chief People Officer of EPAM Systems, received a grant of 11,370 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-03-15 (reported on Form 4). Concurrently, 1,581 shares were withheld by the issuer to satisfy tax withholding obligations arising from the vesting of previously granted RSUs. The withheld shares were surrendered at an indicated price of $137.14 per share (total ≈ $216,818). The newly granted RSUs have an implied market value of roughly $1.56M (11,370 × $137.14), but are recorded as acquired at $0 (typical for RSU awards).

Context

  • This is a compensation-related transaction (RSU grant and tax withholding), not an open-market buy or sell. The grant (A) represents future compensation subject to a multi-year vesting schedule; the withheld shares (F) reflect routine tax withholding when prior RSUs vested. Such filings are common for executive compensation and do not, by themselves, indicate a buy/sell signal by the insider.
