Key Details
- Transaction date: March 15, 2026; Form 4 filed March 16, 2026 (timely filing).
- Vesting issuance: 3,617 shares at $84.68/share = $306,288 total.
- Shares withheld for taxes: 2,023 shares at $84.68/share = $171,307 total.
- Net shares issued to insider: 1,594 shares (≈ $134,981).

Context
- This was not an open‑market sale: the reported dispositions were shares retained by Axos to satisfy tax withholding on vested RSUs (routine practice). Such withholding is a mechanical tax-related disposition and not necessarily a bearish signal.
- The filings include both the vesting (conversion of RSUs to shares) and a contemporaneous grant of additional RSUs; the new RSUs will vest per the plan’s schedule (one‑third each year unless otherwise noted).
