Yates David M 4

What Happened
David M. Yates, Chief Information Officer of WisdomTree (WT), had 37,997 performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs) convert to common shares on Jan 27, 2026 (reported price $0.00). Of those, 19,816 shares were withheld by the company to cover tax withholding, leaving a net increase of roughly 18,181 shares to Yates’ beneficial ownership. The filing shows the PRSUs vested and were converted rather than an open-market purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: January 27, 2026; Form 4 filed January 29, 2026 (timely filing).
• Reported prices: $0.00 per share for the conversion/transactions (typical for award-to-share conversions).
• Gross converted: 37,997 shares; Shares withheld for taxes: 19,816; Net retained: ~18,181 shares.
• Footnotes: These were performance-based RSUs granted Jan 25, 2023 and vested Jan 25, 2026. Performance (relative TSR) came in at the 84.62nd percentile, producing 199% of the target payout (F5). Dividend equivalents were reinvested into 1,586 PRSUs before vesting (F2). Shares were withheld by the issuer to satisfy tax withholding (F4).
• Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (PRSUs converted to shares); F = shares withheld to cover tax liability.
• No open-market sale: Other than tax-withholding, there is no reported sale of shares in this filing.

Context
This is a routine vesting/conversion of performance-based equity, not an open-market trade. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is a common cashless method and should not be read as a discretionary sale by the insider. Because the filing reports $0 per share (conversion from award units), no dollar value for the shares is provided in the Form 4 itself — market value would depend on WisdomTree’s stock price on or after the vesting date.
