Cheniere (LNG) SVP Hinz Maas Exercises RSUs; Company Withholds Shares

What Happened

Hinz Maas, Senior Vice President of Operations at Cheniere Energy (LNG), had restricted stock units (RSUs) vest and convert on Feb 8–9, 2026. A total of 4,952 RSUs converted to shares (3,304 on Feb 8 and 1,648 on Feb 9).
Rather than open‑market sales, the company withheld all 4,952 shares to satisfy tax and settlement obligations: 2,454 + 999 shares were reported as dispositions to the issuer (D) and 850 + 649 shares were reported as tax/payment withholdings (F). Disposition/withholding price reported was $199.65 per share, and the combined cash value of the withheld/disposed shares was approximately $988,667.
The filing includes exercise/conversion (M) entries showing the RSUs converted into shares (derivative conversion), with separate entries recording the withholding/disposition to cover tax liabilities.

Context

These transactions are routine RSU vesting and settlement events, not open‑market purchases or discretionary sales. The derivative (M) entries reflect conversion/settlement of RSUs; the corresponding D and F entries reflect shares withheld/retired by the company to cover tax obligations (a cashless-type settlement/withholding).
Such withholdings are common and generally reflect tax obligations rather than a directional insider opinion.
