Waste Connections (WCN) Director Jordan Lipman Exercises and Sells Shares

What Happened
Jordan Elise Lipman, a director of Waste Connections (WCN), had restricted share units vest and converted those derivative units into common shares on Feb 13–14, 2026. She converted a total of 623 RSUs/derivative units into common shares (344 on Feb 13 and 279 on Feb 14) at no cash exercise price. To satisfy withholding tax obligations, the issuer withheld 185 shares (Feb 13) and 150 shares (Feb 14) at an implied price of CAD $218.26 per share (US $160.27), resulting in share-withholding payments of US $29,650 and US $24,040, respectively (total ≈ US $53,690). In addition, the filing shows awards of 1,122 derivative units (435 and 687) granted on Feb 13, 2026 (derivative/award entries).

Context

  • This was not an open-market sale: the "disposals" were share-withholdings to cover tax obligations on vesting RSUs (a common, administrative cashless withholding), not an active sell decision.
  • The conversion entries are derivative exercises/conversions (M) — RSUs converting into common shares — and the award entries (A) reflect new deferred/restricted share units granted.
  • These types of administrative conversions and tax-withholdings are routine for equity compensation and do not by themselves indicate a change in insider sentiment.
