Old Republic (ORI) Director Charles Kovaleski Receives Award, Surrenders Shares
What Happened
- Charles J. Kovaleski, a director of Old Republic International Corp. (ORI), was granted 1,918 restricted stock units (RSUs) on January 29, 2026 (reported as an Award/Grant). On the same date, 714 shares were surrendered (disposed) to satisfy tax withholding obligations at $39.05 per share, totaling $27,882.
- The RSUs are reported at $0 per share in the filing (typical for RSU grants because they are not an open-market purchase). The 714-share disposition was a tax withholding event rather than an open-market sale.
Key Details
- Transaction date: January 29, 2026. Filing date: February 2, 2026.
- Grant: 1,918 RSUs (code A). Tax withholding: 714 shares surrendered at $39.05 each (code F), proceeds/withholding = $27,882.

Context
- This was an equity award and routine tax withholding, not an open‑market sale — tax withholding by surrendering shares is common when RSUs vest or are settleable.
- The grant signals compensation/retention activity (RSUs) rather than a buy/sell opinion by the insider; such awards are common for directors and executives.
