Insights

Equity compensation analyst

Routine tax withholding on RSU vesting; minimal signal for shareholders.

This Form 4 shows 45 shares of Advance Auto Parts common stock withheld to satisfy taxes when time-based restricted stock units vested from a 2023 grant. The transaction price of $50.33 simply reflects the value used for the tax calculation.

Following this event, EVP and Chief HR Officer Kristen L. Soler continues to hold 32,324 shares directly, so the withheld amount is very small relative to her position. Because this is a compensation-driven, non-market disposition, it carries little informational value about her outlook on the stock.
