Key Details

  • Transaction date: 2026-02-01; Form 4 filed 2026-02-03 (timely filing).
  • Reported entries:
    • Exercise/conversion (M): 254 shares acquired @ $527.79 = $134,059.
    • Tax withholding (F): 115 shares withheld/disposed @ $527.79 = $60,696.
    • Conversion/disposition (M): 254 derivative units disposed @ $0 (no cash value reported).
  • Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing.
  • Notable footnotes: RSUs represent contingent rights to one share (F1); many units were converted from IHS Markit awards in the merger and follow prior vesting/ performance treatment (F2–F6). Several tranches have staggered vesting dates through 2028; vested shares are delivered no later than January 31 following the vesting date.
  • No 10b5-1 plan or late filing indicated.

Context

  • The pattern (exercise/conversion plus share withholding) is commonly an administrative/cashless-style settlement to satisfy tax obligations rather than an open-market sale. Tax-withholding disposals (code F) do not necessarily signal a sell decision about the remainder of the position.
  • The filing documents conversion/vesting details tied to prior IHS Markit awards and standard time- and performance-based vesting schedules; these background notes explain why awards converted and the timing of deliveries.
