Alaska Air (ALK) EVP Diana Birkett Rakow Exercises RSUs; Shares Withheld
What Happened
- Diana Birkett Rakow, EVP (and CEO of Hawaiian Airlines), had 2,476 restricted stock units (RSUs vest) converted into 2,476 shares on Feb 11, 2026 (reported Feb 13, 2026).
- To satisfy withholding for taxes, 603 of those shares were withheld/disposed at a reported withholding value of $57.50 per share, totaling $34,673.
