BDX SVP Pamela Spikner Withholds 84 Shares for Taxes

What Happened

  • Pamela L. Spikner, Senior VP, Controller & CAO of Becton Dickinson & Co. (BDX), had 84 shares withheld on Jan 21, 2026 to satisfy tax withholding related to the vesting of previously granted restricted stock units.
  • The filing reports the shares as a disposition with a per-share price of $0.00 and $0 total proceeds, reflecting that shares were retained by the company for tax purposes rather than sold on the open market.

Key Details

  • Transaction date: 2026-01-21; Form 4 filed: 2026-01-23 (filed within the normal 2-business-day window).
  • Reported transaction code: F (payment of exercise price or tax liability).
  • Shares involved: 84 shares withheld; reported value shown as $0.00 per share (cashless tax withholding).
  • Footnote: F1 — shares withheld to cover withholding taxes from vesting of previously reported RSUs.
  • Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the provided excerpt.

Context

  • This is a tax-withholding event (common when RSUs vest), not an open-market sale or purchase; it does not necessarily indicate insider sentiment about the stock.
  • Such withholding transactions are routine and are recorded as dispositions on Form 4 even though no market sale occurred.
