Viemed (VMD) VP of Sales Jerome Cambre Receives Awards; Shares Withheld
What Happened
- Jerome Cambre, Vice President of Sales at Viemed Healthcare (VMD), had restricted stock units (RSUs) and phantom share units vest on January 29, 2026. A total of 11,492 shares were reported as acquired via exercise/conversion of derivatives/awards (8,619 + 2,873).
- From the vesting event: 2,355 shares were withheld by the issuer to cover tax withholding (reported value $7.48/share, $17,615 total) and 2,873 shares were disposed to the issuer/cashed out at $7.48/share for $21,490. Some derivative items were reported with $0 derivative value reflecting cash-settlement mechanics for phantom shares.
- Net of the withholding and cash settlement, Cambre retained 6,264 shares from this vesting. These were award/vesting transactions (not an open-market purchase) — routine compensation-related activity rather than a market timing trade.
Key Details
- Transaction date: January 29, 2026; Form 4 filed February 2, 2026 (appears timely).
- Reported per-share valuation: $7.48 (based on market close on Jan 29, 2026).
- Reported activity: 11,492 shares acquired via vesting/conversion; 2,355 shares withheld for taxes ($17,615); 2,873 shares cashed/disposed to issuer ($21,490). Some derivative dispositions reported at $0 reflecting cash settlement of phantom shares.
- Footnotes: RSUs = one-for-one common shares (F1, F5). Phantom shares are cash-settled equivalents to common shares (F4, F6). Withholding to satisfy tax obligations is standard (F2). Per-share value note (F3).
- Shares owned after transaction: Cambre retained a net 6,264 shares from this vesting (11,492 acquired minus 2,355 withheld minus 2,873 cashed). The Form 4 did not report any separate open-market purchases or sales beyond these compensation-related transactions.
Context
- This was primarily a vesting/settlement event (awards and cash-settled phantom shares). The cash settlement and issuer buyback are standard ways companies or plans handle taxes and phantom-unit payouts; they do not necessarily indicate insider bullishness or bearishness.
- For clarity: M = exercise/conversion of derivative, F = tax withholding, D = disposition to issuer. These are compensation-related filings rather than discretionary sales or purchases on the open market.
