Viper Energy VP William Krueger Receives RSUs; Shares Withheld

What Happened

William F. Krueger, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Viper Energy, received 8,787 restricted stock units (RSUs) that vested/settled on March 1, 2026 (reported Mar 3, 2026). The RSUs were recorded at $0.00 for the grant (total $0).
To satisfy tax withholding obligations, a total of 2,319 shares were withheld (reported as disposals): 1,166 shares withheld valued at $46.54 each ($54,266) and 1,153 shares withheld at $46.54 each ($53,661), for total withholding value of $107,927.
This was an award/vesting event (code A for the grant; code F for tax withholding). The withholding is a routine tax-related disposition, not an open-market sale.

Context

These transactions are a compensation-related vesting and tax-withholding event (common for executives receiving RSUs). The withheld shares satisfy tax obligations, and are not market sales that indicate trading intent.
RSUs are a form of equity compensation (a contingent right to future shares); because part of the award was withheld to cover taxes, the net new shares issued to Krueger are reduced accordingly.
