Virtu (VIRT) EVP Stephen Cavoli Receives RSU Awards & Exercises
What Happened
- Stephen Cavoli, Executive Vice President of Virtu Financial (VIRT), had restricted stock units (RSUs) vest and convert into common shares on February 3 and February 4, 2026. A total of 34,181 shares were issued on those dates (11,588 on Feb 3 and 22,593 on Feb 4).
- To satisfy tax withholding obligations, 17,451 shares were surrendered/withheld (5,916 on Feb 3; 11,535 on Feb 4), leaving Cavoli with a net 16,730 newly issued shares. The transactions report $0 share price for the derivative conversions because these were RSU settlements rather than open-market trades.
- These were compensation-related vesting events (awards/convertions), not purchases or voluntary sales by the insider.

Context
- These entries reflect routine compensation (RSU vesting and conversion) and share withholding to cover tax liabilities — common corporate insider transactions that do not necessarily indicate a change in sentiment.
- The filing shows the RSUs converted/settled into shares and that some of those shares were immediately surrendered for tax withholding (a cashless-like step), rather than open-market purchases or planned sales.
