Kettner David Michael 4

What Happened

• David Michael Kettner, General Counsel of Gevo, was granted 158,334 restricted common shares on April 1, 2026 (recorded as an award/acquisition at $0.00). On the same date, 25,118 shares were withheld/disposed to cover tax withholding obligations at $2.40 per share, equal to $60,283. The primary event is an award of restricted stock (a compensation grant); the withholding is a routine tax-related disposition.

Key Details

• Transaction dates: April 1, 2026 (award and tax withholding). Form filed April 30, 2026 (late filing).
• Award: 158,334 restricted shares granted (code A) — acquisition recorded at $0.00 per share.
• Withholding: 25,118 shares withheld/disposed (code F) at $2.40 per share for $60,283 to cover taxes.
• Vesting: Footnote F1 — the restricted shares vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the grant date, subject to continued service.
• Withholding note: Footnote F2 — shares were withheld by the issuer to satisfy tax withholding upon vesting.
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in this filing.
• Timeliness: Filing date (April 30, 2026) is later than the transaction date (Apr 1, 2026); Form 4s are typically due within two business days, so this appears to be a late filing.

Context

• This was a compensation grant of restricted stock, not an open-market purchase or a decision to sell shares for investment reasons. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is routine and common when restricted stock vests; it does not by itself indicate the insider’s market sentiment. The award vests over three years, so future disclosures will show additional vesting events or related withholding.
