Noble (NE) SVP Joey Kawaja Converts RSUs; Tax-Withheld Shares

What Happened

  • Joey M. Kawaja, Senior Vice President, Operations at Noble Corp (NE), had 4,528 restricted stock units (RSUs vest) convert into Class A ordinary shares on January 26, 2026. To satisfy tax withholding, 2,022 of those shares were withheld and treated as disposed at $34.88 per share, generating $70,527. The net shares issued to Kawaja after withholding were 2,506.
  • This transaction is the vesting/conversion of RSUs (an award), not an open-market purchase or sale by the insider—routine compensation vesting rather than a directional trade.

Context

  • For retail investors, vested awards are common and do not necessarily signal the insider’s market view.
