Jacobson Samantha 4

What Happened
Samantha Jacobson, Chief Strategy Officer and a director at Trade Desk (TTD), had 4,009 shares withheld on Feb 15, 2026 to cover tax obligations related to partial vesting of restricted stock/RSU awards. The withholdings occurred at $25.81 per share across five grant tranches, totaling approximately $103,473. These transactions are tax-withholding dispositions (transaction code F), not open-market sales.

Context
This is a routine tax-withholding event tied to RSU vesting (a common executive compensation process). Because shares were withheld to meet tax obligations rather than sold on the open market for cash proceeds, this action is generally neutral for interpreting insider sentiment. Purchases or open-market sales tend to carry more direct signaling value.
