What Happened
Terry L. Riesterer, Vice President and Controller of Rockwell Automation (ROK), had 849 restricted stock units (RSUs) convert to 849 shares on 2026-07-16 (reported 7/17/2026).

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-07-16 (filed 2026-07-17 — timely filing).
• Conversion: 849 RSUs converted to 849 shares (reported as derivative exercise/conversion at $0.00).
• Sale: 281 shares sold on the open market at $453.24 per share = $127,359 total.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in this Form 4 filing.
• Footnotes:
  • F1: The sale was pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan entered 5/30/2025 to cover taxes on RSUs that vested 7/16/2026.
  • F3: Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock.
  • F2: Filing notes that reported holdings include company stock fund units from the Company Savings Plan as of 6/30/2026 (may not exactly match prior balances).

Context

• This was a routine transaction tied to RSU vesting and tax-covering sales under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan, not a typical open-market investment buy.
• The RSU conversion shows $0 exercise price because RSUs settle into shares without an exercise payment. The combination of conversion + sale is effectively a tax-withholding/covering action rather than a directional bet on the stock.
