Motorola Solutions SVP James Niewiara Receives 1,025 Shares
What Happened
- James A. Niewiara, SVP and General Counsel of Motorola Solutions (MSI), acquired 1,025 shares on March 9, 2026 through the settlement/conversion of equity awards (transaction code M — exercise/conversion of a derivative). The filing reports an acquisition price of $0.00 because these shares were delivered on vesting/payout of market stock units (MSUs).
Key Details
- Transaction date: March 9, 2026. Report filed as an amendment on March 13, 2026 (original Form 4 filed March 11, 2026).
- Shares acquired: 1,025 shares at $0.00 per share (reported acquisition value $0).
- Footnote F1: This reflects vesting (593) and payout (1,025) of the third tranche (1/3) of MSUs granted 3/9/2023 with a 173% payout factor; 432 of the shares were above the original target number.
- Footnote F2: References other holdings from the employee stock purchase plan and dividend reinvestment (general holdings, not part of this transaction).
- Tax withholding: This is an amended filing — the original Form 4 incorrectly reported share-withholding for taxes. The amendment clarifies no shares were withheld; tax obligations were satisfied in cash.
- Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in this amendment.
Context
- This was an equity award vesting/settlement, not an open-market buy or sale. Such award settlements are routine compensation events and do not by themselves indicate a buy or sell signal.
- Because taxes were paid in cash and no shares were sold or withheld, there was no immediate open-market activity associated with this event.
