What Happened

• Shaun Ellen Zitting, Chief Human Resources Officer of NIQ Global Intelligence plc (NIQ), had 1,516 shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding in connection with vested restricted stock units (RSUs) on May 6, 2026. The withholding was recorded at $10.54 per share, representing $15,979 in value. This was a tax-withholding/net-settlement action, not an open-market sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-05-06; filing date: 2026-05-08 (Form 4, Accession 0002077005-26-000008) — appears timely.
• Shares withheld: 1,516 at $10.54 each; total value ≈ $15,979.
• Transaction code: F (payment of exercise price or tax liability via share withholding).
• Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in the filing.
• Footnotes: F1 clarifies the shares were withheld by the issuer to cover tax withholding on net-settled RSUs and do not constitute an open-market sale. F2 notes some shares are held by AI PAVE (Luxembourg) Management & Cy S.C.Sp. for Zitting’s benefit and remain subject to vesting under the award agreement.

Context

• This is a routine tax-withholding event tied to RSU vesting (a common occurrence when equity grants vest). Because the shares were withheld by the issuer to cover taxes rather than sold on the market, it should not be interpreted as a directional trade by the executive.
