What Happened
- Wendy Short Bartie, EVP, Corporate Affairs at Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY), reported multiple award vesting/conversions on March 10, 2026. A series of derivative conversions/exercises (M) resulted in 5,883 shares being converted to stock (639 + 749 + 4,495). In addition, grant/award entries show 16,327 market/performance units credited (6,531 + 9,796). To satisfy tax withholding, 1,275 shares were withheld and disposed at $60.13/share, generating $76,666 in payment for taxes.

Context
- These filings reflect routine equity compensation vesting and performance-share conversions, not open-market buys or discretionary sales. The $76.7K reflects shares withheld to cover tax obligations on the vested awards (cashless withholding), not a market sale for investment purposes. Retail investors typically view scheduled vesting and tax-withholding events as routine compensation settlements rather than a direct signal of insider conviction.

- [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 converted 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.
