Bristol Myers (BMY) — Lynelle Hoch Receives Awarded Shares; Tax Withheld
What Happened
Lynelle Hoch, President of the Cell Therapy Organization at Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY), had multiple equity awards vest/convert on March 10, 2026. The filing shows conversion/exercise of derivative awards and new awards/grants totaling 24,519 share-equivalents (8,192 shares from conversions + 16,327 shares from grants/awards). To cover tax withholding, 1,391 shares were surrendered at $60.13 per share, producing proceeds/coverage of $83,642. All acquisition entries were at $0 per share (they are settlements of equity awards, not open-market purchases).
Key Details
- Transaction date: March 10, 2026. Form 4 filed March 12, 2026 (appears timely).
- Tax withholding: 1,391 shares withheld at $60.13 = $83,642 total. (Filing shows three withholding entries: 212, 267, 912 shares.)
- Award/conversion totals shown: conversions (M) = 8,192 shares; awards/grants (A) = 16,327 shares; “other” zero-value adjustments (J) = 3,302 shares (performance/adjustment-related).
- Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in the excerpt.
- Notable footnotes: vesting of quarterly market share units from March 10, 2022 and March 10, 2023 (F1, F4); performance share/unit payout and timing (F8, F10, F11); downward adjustments based on performance factors and payout formulas (F2, F6, F7, F9); F3 denotes shares withheld for taxes.
- Filing contains no indication of an open-market sale by the insider—only award settlements and tax withholding.
Context/How to read this
- Codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative awards (here, settlement of market share units / performance units), A = award/grant, F = shares withheld for taxes, J = other acquisition/disposition or adjustment.
- These transactions reflect compensation-plan settlements (vesting and performance-based conversions), not a discretionary market buy or sell that would necessarily signal a change in personal market view. The tax-withholding was handled by surrendering shares (common “cashless” withholding), not by a public sale of additional shares by the insider.
- No late-filing flag is shown; the Form 4 was filed two days after the transactions, which is typical/timely under SEC rules.

- [F7]Each market share unit converts into the number of shares of common stock determined by applying a payout factor to the target number of shares vesting on a given date. The payout factor is a ratio of the average of the closing price on the measurement date plus the nine prior trading days divided by the average stock price on the grant date (also a 10-day average). The minimum payout factor that must be achieved to earn a payout is 80% and the maximum payout factor is 225%.
- [F8]Each performance share unit converts into one share of common stock upon distribution in the first quarter of 2026.
- [F9]Each market share unit converts into the number of shares of common stock determined by applying a payout factor to the target number of shares vesting on a given date. The payout factor is the greater of Total Return and relative total shareholder return (rTSR) Floor. Total Return is a ratio of the 10-day average closing stock price on the measurement date, plus the value of accumulated dividends, divided by the average stock price on the grant date (also a 10-day average). The minimum payout factor for Total Return performance that must be achieved to earn a payout is 80% and the maximum is 225%. The rTSR Floor feature provides a minimum level of payout if BMS stock price declines from the grant date but outperforms our peers based on their TSR percentile rank. A TSR percentile rank (i) below the 50th percentile yields a 0% payout, (ii) between the 50th and 74.99th percentiles yields a 50% payout, and (iii) at or above the 75th percentile yields a 100% payout.
