Wiley (WLY) SVP Christopher Caridi Converts RSUs; 2,073 Shares Vest

What Happened

Christopher Caridi, Senior Vice President & Chief Accounting Officer at John Wiley & Sons (WLY), had restricted stock units (RSUs) convert into 2,073 shares on April 30, 2026. The shares were issued at no exercise price ($0.00).
As is common with vested equity awards, 799 of the newly issued shares were surrendered to cover withholding taxes at an implied per-share tax value of $40.93, totaling $32,703. Net shares retained by Caridi from this conversion: 1,274.
This was a routine vesting/conversion of RSUs (compensation), not an open-market purchase or sale.

Context

This transaction reflects compensation vesting (conversion of RSUs) rather than a decision to buy or sell stock for investment reasons. The surrender of shares to cover taxes is a common, routine part of RSU vesting (a cashless-withholding-like mechanism) and does not necessarily indicate insider sentiment about the stock.
For retail investors: purchases by insiders can be more informative than routine vesting. This Form 4 documents compensation-related share issuance and tax withholding, filed in a timely manner.
