Brinkman Joseph Robert 4

What Happened
Joseph R. Brinkman, Chief Financial Officer of Chart Industries, received 1,072 shares on Feb 24, 2026 as the payout of vested performance units. To satisfy tax withholding, 262 of those shares were surrendered at a reported value of $207.58 each, totaling $54,386. Net new shares retained by Brinkman from this payout = 810 shares (1,072 granted − 262 withheld). This was an award payout (not an open-market purchase or sale); the surrender of shares for taxes is a routine withholding action.

Context
This was a standard equity award payout and a tax-withholding surrender — common for vested performance awards. The surrender of shares to cover taxes is not an open-market sale and is typically administrative, not necessarily a signal about the insider’s view of the stock.
