What Happened

William C. Zint, Chief Financial Officer of Deluxe Corp (DLX), had restricted stock units vest and convert into 18,010 shares across Feb 14–16, 2026 (conversion recorded as code M; exercise price $0.00).
To satisfy tax withholding obligations (code F), 8,022 of those shares were withheld/disposed at $26.21 per share, generating proceeds of $210,257.

Context

This was routine vesting of restricted stock units and tax-withholding via share retention — a common, administrative transaction rather than an investment purchase or directional sale signal.
For retail investors: purchases or open-market buys by insiders can be stronger signals; withholding to cover taxes is neutral and typically does not reflect a decision to sell for investment reasons.
