WisdomTree (WT) CLO Marci Frankenthaler Receives Restricted Stock Award
What Happened

Context
- These were company compensation awards (restricted stock and performance-based RSUs), not open-market buys or discretionary sales. Awards vest over future dates and may include performance conditions (PRSUs), so they do not represent an immediate cash investment or sale decision by the insider.
- The surrender of shares to cover taxes is a common administrative step (cashless tax withholding) and does not necessarily reflect the insider’s market view.
