Alaska Air (ALK) Andrea Schneider, Horizon CEO Receives RSUs; Shares Withheld
What Happened
- Andrea L. Schneider (President & CEO, Horizon Airlines) had restricted stock units (RSUs) vest on February 13, 2026 and the RSUs converted into shares of Alaska Air Group (ALK). A total of 12,143 shares were issued on conversion (7,600 + 4,543). To satisfy tax withholding obligations, 4,574 shares were withheld at $55.27 per share (total withheld value $252,805 — $158,238 + $94,567). The net shares issued to Schneider after withholding were 7,569.
- This was an award/vesting event rather than an open-market purchase or sale; withholding of shares for taxes is a routine administrative step, not necessarily a market sentiment signal.
