Timken (TKR) SVP John Szarka Receives Award, Sells 288 Shares for Taxes
What Happened
- John Raymond Szarka, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Timken Co. (TKR), received 868 shares upon vesting of performance-based restricted stock units and had 288 shares withheld to cover tax obligations (disposition reported at $108.74/share, $31,317 total). Net shares retained from this vesting were about 580 shares.
- In addition, Szarka was granted 1,250 time-based restricted share units (RSUs) that vest 25% per year, and 1,850 performance-based RSUs subject to performance measures for the 2026–2028 period. The reported acquisitions show $0.00 per share because these are awards, not open-market purchases.

Context
- This filing reflects a routine RSU vesting and withholding to satisfy tax obligations, not an open-market buy or sell for investment purposes. The disposal of 288 shares was solely to cover taxes (common with equity awards).
- The newly granted RSUs are derivative awards (rights to future shares if vesting/performance conditions are met) and do not represent an immediate cash purchase or sale.
