What Happened

• Cyril Perducat, SVP & Chief Technology Officer of Rockwell Automation (ROK), had 581 restricted stock units (RSUs) convert/exercise into 581 shares on 2026-04-09 (reported as derivative exercise/conversion). He then sold 198 of those shares in an open-market sale on 2026-04-10 at a weighted average price of $395.00, generating proceeds of $78,209. The sale was made pursuant to a pre-existing Rule 10b5-1 plan to cover taxes due on the RSU vesting.

Context

• This was not a market-timed purchase signal: the primary action was conversion of RSUs to shares and a subsequent sale to cover tax obligations (routine compensation-related activity). The derivative line (code M) reflects conversion/exercise of RSUs into common shares; the sale (code S) was an open-market disposition under a 10b5-1 plan. Purchases typically carry more weight as bullish signals; routine tax-related sales like this are common after vesting events.
