Bread Financial (BFH) CEO Ralph Andretta Receives RSUs, Sells Shares

What Happened
Ralph J. Andretta, President, CEO and a director of Bread Financial Holdings (BFH), was granted multiple restricted stock unit (RSU) awards on 2026-02-17 totaling 124,428 RSUs (42,122 time‑based RSUs; 63,183 new performance RSUs; and 19,123 additional performance RSUs earned). To satisfy tax withholding when RSUs vested, 56,858 shares were withheld on 2/17/2026 at $73.05 each ($4,153,477) and 5,326 shares were withheld on 2/18/2026 at $73.74 each ($392,739). These withholdings are reported as dispositions (transaction code F) and are routine tax‑related transactions rather than open‑market sales.

Context

  • These transactions are award grants and routine tax‑related share withholdings, not open‑market purchases or discretionary sales. Awards reflect compensation and may vest over time or be contingent on performance; withheld shares to cover taxes are common and do not necessarily indicate a change in the insider’s view of the company.
