Eifler Robert W. 4

What Happened
Robert W. Eifler, President & CEO and Director of Noble Corp plc (NE), had 113,663 performance-vested Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) convert into Class A ordinary shares on Feb 12, 2026. To satisfy tax withholding obligations, 44,727 of those shares were withheld (disposed) at $42.10 per share, for a withholding value of $1,883,007. The conversion resulted in a net increase of 68,936 shares to Eifler’s holdings (113,663 acquired less 44,727 withheld). The conversion price for the RSUs is reported as N/A (RSUs convert to shares rather than being purchased).

Context
This was a settlement of performance-vested RSUs, not an open-market purchase or sale. Withholding shares to cover taxes is a routine administrative step (not an independent sale indicating sentiment). Overall, Eifler’s position increased by 68,936 shares net of withholding. For investors tracking insider activity, RSU vesting indicates compensation realization rather than a direct cash purchase; the withholding reduces the net share gain but is expected in these settlements.
