Gould Brian 4

What Happened

• Brian Gould, EVP & Chief Operations Officer of Enact Holdings (ACT), had 15,710 performance stock units (PSUs) vest and convert into 15,710 shares of common stock on February 24, 2026. The company withheld 4,468 of those shares to satisfy tax withholding, a disposition valued at $41.46 per share for $185,243. Net shares delivered to Gould were 11,242 (15,710 vested − 4,468 withheld), roughly $466k at the $41.46 withholding price.
• This was a vesting/settlement of compensation (not an open-market purchase or a voluntary sale). The withholding to cover taxes is a routine administrative disposition and does not necessarily reflect trading intent.
