What Happened
- Henry L. Charlton, EVP & Chief Commercial and Marketing Officer at Intuitive Surgical (ISRG), had restricted and performance awards vest/convert on Feb 26, 2026. The filing shows derivative awards/convertible units were recorded (totaling 7,623 units across entries) and conversions/exercises resulting in common shares (recorded as $0 exercise price). To satisfy tax-withholding obligations, 1,224 shares were disposed (sold) at $506.17 per share, generating approximately $619,552. The awards and conversions themselves are reported at $0 per share because they were vesting/conversion events, not cash purchases.
