Forge Global CEO Rodriques Kelly Withholds 1,347 Shares for Taxes

What Happened
Rodriques Kelly, CEO of Forge Global Holdings (FRGE), had 1,347 shares withheld on Feb 20, 2026 to satisfy tax withholding in connection with a net settlement of restricted stock units.

Context
Net settlement tax withholdings for RSUs are common: the company retains (or cancels) a portion of vested shares to cover required tax obligations instead of the insider selling shares on the open market. These transactions are routine and do not necessarily signal a change in the insider’s view of the company.
