Kraft Robert O. 4

What Happened

• Robert O. Kraft, CFO and Treasurer of Hillman Solutions Corp. (HLMN), was granted 46,068 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-03-07 (reported on Form 4 filed 2026-03-10). To satisfy withholding obligations, 13,192 and 4,038 shares were surrendered at $8.14 per share (reported as dispositions under code F) for proceeds/withholding amounts of $107,383 and $32,869, respectively — a total of 17,230 shares withheld valued at $140,252.
• This transaction is an award of RSUs (not an open-market purchase or sale). The share transfers reported were to cover tax or similar obligations, which is routine when RSUs are granted or vest.

Context

• RSU grants are compensation, not a direct buy/sell signal. The withheld shares were used to cover tax liabilities (common practice), not necessarily sold on the open market for cash proceeds to the insider.
• For retail investors, purchases are usually more informative about insider sentiment; awards and withholding reflect compensation and tax mechanics rather than a clear bullish or bearish personal investment decision.
