Blend Labs (BLND) Oxana Tkach Receives RSU Vesting

What Happened
Oxana Tkach, Principal Accounting Officer of Blend Labs (BLND), had restricted stock units (RSUs) convert into company shares on August 20, 2026. The Form 4 shows RSU conversion/exercise entries (25,000 and 12,500-share tranches) and a tax withholding event in which 10,667 shares were surrendered at $1.50 per share to cover tax obligations, totaling $16,001. The conversion entries are reported as derivative exercises (code M) and the withholding is reported as a tax payment (code F).

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-08-20; Form 4 filed 2026-08-24 (filed late relative to the 2-business-day rule).
• Reported entries: conversion/exercise of RSU/derivative awards (25,000 and 12,500-share tranches) and tax withholding of 10,667 shares @ $1.50 = $16,001. Some conversion lines show $0.00 proceeds (normal for RSU-to-share conversion).
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the excerpt provided.
• Footnotes: F1 = each RSU equals a contingent right to one BLND share; F2 = shares were withheld to cover taxes; F3/F4 = two separate RSU grants with different vesting schedules (one vests quarterly over 4 years, the other over 2 years).
• Filing timeliness: marked late (transaction occurred 2026-08-20; filing dated 2026-08-24), which may be a reporting violation but does not itself indicate trading intent.

Context
This was an RSU vest/conversion with shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding (a common, administrative—rather than market—sale). For derivative/RSU transactions, $0.00 proceeds typically reflect issuance on vesting rather than a cash sale. Such withholdings are routine and do not necessarily signal a buy or sell opinion about the company.
