Bristol Myers Squibb EVP Wendy Short Bartie Exercises Awards, Sells Shares

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. The derivative/grant line items are reported at $0 acquisition price because they reflect award vesting/conversion rather than open-market purchases.

Key Details

  • Transaction date: March 10, 2026; Form 4 filed March 12, 2026 (filing does not indicate a late report).
  • Derivative conversions/exercises (code M): 639, 749 and 4,495 shares (total 5,883) reported as acquired/converted at $0.
  • Grants/awards (code A): 6,531 and 9,796 market/performance units credited (total 16,327) reported at $0.
  • Tax withholding (code F): 205, 242 and 828 shares withheld (total 1,275) at $60.13 each, totaling $76,666 used to cover tax liabilities.
  • Other acquisition/disposition entries (code J): small adjustments (72, 81, 2,207 shares) reported at $0 — filing footnotes indicate adjustments due to performance factors.
  • Shares owned after the transactions: not specified in the filing.
  • Footnotes: vesting includes scheduled quarterly vesting of prior market share unit awards (F1, F4), performance-based adjustments/payout factors (F2, F6, F7, F9), and conversion/distribution timing for some performance units (F8, F10, F11).

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.

Footnotes (11)
  • [F1]Represents vesting of one-quarter of market share units granted on March 10, 2022.
  • [F10]These market share units cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to certification of performance results by the Board.
  • [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.
  • [F3]Shares withheld for payment of taxes upon vesting of awards.
  • [F4]Represents vesting of one-quarter of market share units granted on March 10, 2023.
  • [F5]Amount represents distribution of performance shares earned under the 2023-2025 Long-Term Performance Award.
  • [F6]Adjustment to award based on the performance factor applied in accordance with the terms of the award and certification of performance results by the Board.
  • [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.
