Motorola Solutions SVP Cynthia Yazdi Exercises Options, Sells Shares

What Happened

  • Cynthia Yazdi, Senior Vice President (formerly COS to the Chairman & CEO) at Motorola Solutions (MSI), exercised stock options and sold the resulting shares. On Feb 26, 2026 she exercised 7,000 options at $222.30 per share (cost $1,556,100) and sold 7,000 shares the same day at a weighted average price of $471.01, grossing $3,297,053. The filing also reports the disposition of 7,000 derivative shares at $0.00 consistent with the exercise/cashless settlement process.
  • Separately, on Feb 25, 2026 the company determined she earned 3,629 performance stock units (PSUs) to be settled on March 9, 2026 (no cash paid).

Key Details

  • Dates/prices: Feb 25, 2026 — 3,629 PSUs earned (settlement Mar 9, 2026). Feb 26, 2026 — exercised 7,000 options at $222.30 ($1,556,100); sold 7,000 shares at weighted avg $471.0075 (range $471.00–$471.335) for $3,297,053.
  • Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the summary data provided in this request.
  • Notable footnotes: F1 (PSUs earned; settlement scheduled Mar 9); F3 (weighted-average sale price and price range; seller can provide breakdown on request); F5 (the options exercised were performance-based options that vested Mar 10, 2025).
  • Timeliness: Form 4 filed Feb 27, 2026 for transactions on Feb 25–26, 2026 — filed within the usual two-business-day window (no late filing indicated).

Context

  • This was effectively a cashless exercise: options were exercised and the resulting shares were sold the same day, a common practice to cover exercise cost and taxes. The separate PSU award (3,629 shares) is scheduled for settlement on Mar 9 and was not part of the Feb 26 sale.
  • The activity is an inside executive transaction (not a 10% owner filing). Facts only — no inference about motives is made; sales by insiders can be routine (liquidity, tax) or strategic, but the filing does not state a reason.
