Uniti (UNIT) CFO Paul Bullington Receives Award; Withholds Shares
What Happened
Paul Bullington, Chief Financial Officer of Uniti Group Inc., had 18,902 performance-based restricted stock units (PBRSUs) vest on March 5, 2026.

To satisfy tax obligations from the vesting, 7,438 shares were withheld (reported as a disposal) at $8.06 per share for a total of $59,950.

Context
This was a routine compensation event (vesting of PBRSUs) with shares withheld to cover taxes—common practice that does not necessarily signal insider sentiment. Unlike an open-market sale or a buy, tax-withholding dispositions are administrative and should be interpreted differently than voluntary sales or purchases.
