What Happened Sagati Aghili Naseem, General Counsel of Ares Management Corporation (ARES), was granted 2,712 restricted units on January 20, 2026. On the same date 1,089 shares were withheld/disposed to satisfy tax withholding obligations at $163.16 per share, producing a withholding value of $177,681.

Key Details

Context Restricted units (RSUs) represent future delivery rights to shares once vesting conditions are met. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is common and functions like a cashless tax payment — it does not necessarily indicate a deliberate market sale. This filing records an award plus routine tax withholding rather than a open-market buy or discretionary sale.
