Bristol Myers (BMY) SVP Phil Holzer Exercises Awards; Shares Withheld
What Happened
- Phil M. Holzer, SVP and Controller of Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY), had multiple equity awards vest/convert on March 10, 2026. The filing reports conversions (derivative exercises) totaling 6,191 shares (no cash exercise price) and the withholding of 1,358 shares to cover taxes (withholding valued at ~$81,656 at $60.13/share). The filing also records two grant/award entries totaling 12,578 derivative units and "other" dispositions of 2,438 shares (zero cash value).
- These were not open‑market purchases or sales of existing shares but vesting/conversion and grant actions. The conversions show $0.00 exercise price (typical for RSU/market-share-unit settlements), with shares withheld rather than a cash payment to satisfy tax obligations.
Key Details
- Transaction date: March 10, 2026; Form filed Mar 12, 2026 (timely).

- Notable footnotes: vesting includes quarterly vesting of March 10, 2022 and 2023 grants (F1, F4), withholding for taxes (F3), and several awards are performance- or price‑linked subject to Board certification/payout factors (F2, F5–F11).
Context
- These entries reflect vesting/settlement of RSU/market-share and performance-share awards and routine tax-withholding (a common, non‑sentiment indicator). The M code reflects exercise/conversion of derivatives; F indicates shares withheld/used to pay taxes; A indicates grants/awards; J indicates other acquisitions/dispositions.
- No open‑market sales by the insider were reported in this filing — the transaction is a net settlement of awards rather than a sale intended as liquidity or investment signal.

- [F11]Each performance share unit converts into one share of common stock upon distribution in the first quarter of 2029, subject to certification of performance results by the Board.
- [F2]Represents a downward adjustment to the number of shares acquired upon the vesting of market share units due to the performance factor.

- [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.
