Skyward (SKWD) CIO Dan Bodnar Settles PSUs, Sells Shares for Taxes
What Happened
- Dan Bodnar, Chief Information Officer of Skyward Specialty Insurance Group (SKWD), had Performance Share Units (PSUs) settle on May 6, 2026. The filing shows an acquisition/settlement of 2,686 shares (derivative conversion at $0.00) and a separate conversion of 2,020 PSUs.

The transactions reflect settlement of equity awards, not an open-market purchase or voluntary sale.
Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-05-06; Form 4 filed 2026-05-08 (timely).
- Shares acquired via settlement/conversion: 2,686 shares (reported as derivative exercise/conversion at $0.00).
- Additional derivative conversion reported: 2,020 PSUs (see footnote).
- Shares disposed/withheld for taxes: 1,004 shares at $43.68 each = $43,855 (mandatory withholding; not discretionary).
- Shares owned after the transactions: not disclosed in the provided excerpt of the filing.
- Notable footnotes: F1–F4 explain these were PSUs (each PSU = 1 share), 1,004 shares were withheld to satisfy tax obligations (mandated by issuer), and the 2,020 PSUs were awarded 2/27/2023 with a 2023–2025 performance period that fully vested 12/31/2025.
Context
- These were settlements of performance-based equity awards (PSUs). The withholding of shares to cover taxes is a routine, issuer-mandated step (a cashless settlement component) and does not necessarily indicate a discretionary sale by the insider.
- PSUs are compensation tied to performance metrics; F4 notes the 2023 award had a 0–150% payout range and was certified as vested for the 2023–2025 performance period.
