Laden Christopher 4

What Happened

• Christopher Laden, Chief Financial Officer of National Vision Holdings (EYE), had 26,082 restricted stock units (RSUs) vest on March 31, 2026. The RSUs converted one-for-one into 26,082 common shares (no exercise price). To cover tax withholding, 9,702 shares were surrendered at $25.90 per share for a withholding amount of $251,282, leaving a net 16,380 shares issued to him.
• This was not an open-market purchase or sale of shares but the routine vesting/conversion of an equity award.

Context

• This is a standard RSU vesting event with share withholding for taxes (not a market sale). Such transactions reflect compensation vesting rather than a discretionary buy or sell decision. For derivative entries: the RSUs were converted into common stock (no cash exercise), and a portion was surrendered to satisfy withholding obligations.
