WisdomTree (WT) CEO-Europe Alexis Marinof Receives Award
What Happened
- Alexis Marinof, WisdomTree's CEO for Europe, had performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs) vest and convert into 45,713 shares. The filing shows 21,486 shares were withheld by the issuer to cover taxes, resulting in a net delivery of 24,227 shares to Marinof. All conversion entries show a $0.00 exercise price because these were equity awards (not option purchases).
Key Details
- Transaction date(s): reported as January 27, 2026 (vesting conversion recorded Jan 27, 2026; vesting date per footnote was January 25, 2026). Filing date: January 29, 2026 (timely).
- Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of a derivative (conversion of PRSUs to shares); F = shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding.
- Shares involved: 45,713 shares issued on conversion; 21,486 shares withheld for taxes; net issued to insider = 24,227 shares.
- Price shown: $0.00 per share (typical for RSU/PRSU conversions; no cash exercise price).
- Footnotes/other items:
- F1–F2: Each PRSU converts to one share on vesting; 1,908 PRSUs reflect reinvested dividend equivalents.
- F4: The 21,486-share disposition was withholding by the issuer to cover taxes.
- F5: These PRSUs were granted 1/25/2023 and vested 1/25/2026. Vesting was performance-based (Relative TSR vs. peers); the awards vested at 199% of target (84.62nd percentile).
- F3: Separate restricted stock awards remain scheduled to vest in 2027–2029 (not part of this transaction).
- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided excerpt of the Form 4.
Context
- This was not an open-market buy or sell — it was the conversion/settlement of vested performance RSUs. The withholding of shares to pay taxes is a routine administrative step and does not necessarily signal a decision to sell shares in the market.
- The large payout relative to the original target reflects strong relative TSR performance (199% vesting), which is a governance/compensation outcome rather than a direct insider trading signal.

Footnotes (5)
- [F1]Each performance-based restricted stock unit ("PRSU") represented the right to receive, on the vesting date, one share of common stock for each such unit that vested.
- [F2]Includes the reinvestment of dividend equivalents into 1,908 PRSUs between the grant date and vesting date.
- [F3]Includes restricted stock awards vesting as to (i) 60,394 shares on January 25, 2027, (ii) 33,526 shares on January 25, 2028 and (iii) 14,777 shares on January 25, 2029.
- [F4]Shares withheld by the Issuer upon vesting of PRSUs to cover withholding taxes.
- [F5]These PRSUs were granted by the Issuer on January 25, 2023 and vested on January 25, 2026. The ultimate number of shares that could have vested was between 0 and 200% of the previously reported target number of PRSUs based on the total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Issuer's common stock relative to the respective TSRs of the stocks of a peer group of companies, each measured over a 3-year period from the grant date ("Relative TSR"). Based on a report issued by an independent valuation specialist and certified by the Issuer's compensation committee on January 27, 2026, the Relative TSR measured in the 84.62nd percentile, resulting in the vesting of 199% of the target number of PRSUs.
