DraftKings (DKNG) Director Paul Liberman Receives RSUs; Shares Withheld

What Happened

  • Paul Liberman, President, Operations at DraftKings, had RSUs vest on June 1, 2026 and received a net total of 72,860 shares of Class A common stock. To satisfy withholding tax obligations, 35,230 shares were withheld by the issuer (treated as dispositions) at $26.33 per share, generating approximately $927,606 in tax withholdings.
  • The filing records the RSU settlements as derivative conversions/exercises (transaction code M) and the withholding as payment of tax liability (code F). The derivative/conversion entries showing $0.00 reflect the conversion/settlement of RSUs into shares rather than a cash option exercise.

Context

  • This was a routine RSU vesting and issuer share-withholding to cover taxes (a cashless settlement), not an open-market sale or purchase. Such withholding transactions are administrative and do not necessarily signal insider buying or selling intent.
