restricted stock unit financial
"Represents a restricted stock unit ("RSU") award."
A restricted stock unit is a promise from a company to give an employee shares of stock after certain conditions are met, like staying with the company for a set amount of time. It’s like earning a bonus that turns into company stock once you’ve proven your commitment, making it a way to motivate and reward employees.
RSU financial
"Represents a restricted stock unit ("RSU") award."
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a form of company shares given to employees as part of their compensation, usually with certain restrictions or conditions, such as remaining with the company for a set period. When these restrictions lift, employees receive actual shares that they can sell or hold. For investors, RSUs can impact a company's stock supply and reflect the company's commitment to attracting and retaining talent.

FAQ

What insider transaction did ACVA’s CEO report in this Form 4?

ACV Auctions CEO George Chamoun reported receiving a grant of 500,221 shares of Common Stock as a restricted stock unit award at no cost. This increases his equity-based compensation and aligns his interests with long-term company performance through multi-year vesting.

How do the 500,221 RSUs granted to ACVA’s CEO vest over time?

The 500,221 restricted stock units granted to ACV Auctions’ CEO vest in twelve substantially equal quarterly installments starting July 1, 2026. Vesting requires his continuous service through each vesting date, spreading the award’s benefit over several years as he remains with the company.

Were any ACVA shares sold by the CEO in this filing?

No discretionary open-market sales were reported. Instead, 33,405 shares of ACV Auctions Common Stock were withheld at $4.27 per share to cover tax liabilities from a prior RSU vesting, which the filing clarifies does not represent a voluntary sale by the CEO.

How many ACVA shares does the CEO own after these Form 4 transactions?

Following the reported grant and tax-withholding entries, ACV Auctions CEO George Chamoun directly owns 3,419,793 shares of Common Stock. This figure reflects his updated ownership position after adding the new restricted stock unit award and accounting for the shares withheld for taxes.

What was the price used for ACVA shares withheld for taxes?

For the tax-withholding transactions on April 1, 2026, ACV Auctions used a price of $4.27 per share. At that price, 33,405 shares of Common Stock were withheld to satisfy the CEO’s tax obligations arising from the vesting of a previously granted RSU award.

Why were ACVA shares withheld in the Form 4 instead of being sold in the market?

The filing states that the 33,405 ACV Auctions shares were withheld by the issuer to cover tax liability from a prior RSU vesting. This mechanism settles taxes directly with shares, avoiding an open-market sale and not reflecting a discretionary trading decision by the CEO.
