What Happened
Matthew Eisenacher, Chief Brand Officer of First Watch Restaurant Group (FWRG), disposed of 6,070 shares on 2026-03-10.

• Shares sold (disposed): 6,070; proceeds ≈ $76,421.
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnotes: F1 notes the sale was mandatory to cover tax withholding on RSU vesting; F2 explains the weighted average and price range and that the broker sold shares in multiple transactions allocated pro rata to employees.

Context
Sell-to-cover transactions occur when an employer or broker sells a portion of vested RSUs to satisfy required tax withholdings; they generally do not signal the insider’s voluntary decision to reduce holdings. For retail investors, purchases or voluntary insider buys tend to be more informative about confidence in the company than routine withholding sales.
