Restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"Restricted stock units ("RSUs") that vest as follows: (a) 8,333 on June 30, 2026..."
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.

Disposition to issuer financial
"transaction_code_description": "Disposition to issuer""
tax-withholding disposition financial
"transaction_action": "tax-withholding disposition""
A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.

AUDIOEYE INC reported that Kelly Georgevich received 52,264 shares as equity awards and had 24,595 shares disposed through forfeiture and tax withholding. These were compensation and tax-related entries, not open-market purchases or sales of AEYE stock.

How many AUDIOEYE INC (AEYE) shares does Kelly Georgevich hold after this Form 4?

Were Kelly Georgevich’s AEYE transactions open-market buys or sells?

The filing shows no open-market buys or sells. Instead, it reports equity grants, a disposition to the issuer from forfeited restricted stock units, and shares withheld to cover tax liabilities. These are routine compensation and tax-related transactions rather than discretionary market trades.

What restricted stock unit (RSU) vesting schedule did AEYE disclose for Kelly Georgevich?

AEYE disclosed RSUs that vest in stages: 8,333 on June 30, 2026; 12,500 on September 30, 2026; 12,500 on December 31, 2026; 12,500 on March 31, 2027; and 4,167 on May 4, 2027. Each vesting event converts RSUs into shares if conditions are met.

Why were some of Kelly Georgevich’s AEYE shares withheld in this filing?

The filing states that 6,516 shares were withheld to cover tax obligations tied to equity compensation. Specifically, shares were withheld upon the grant of 2,264 shares and upon the vesting of RSUs, which is a standard mechanism for satisfying withholding tax requirements.

What does the forfeiture of RSUs mean for AEYE CEO Kelly Georgevich?

The Form 4 notes that 18,079 restricted stock units were forfeited and cancelled. This means those units will not convert into shares, reducing potential future share delivery from that specific award while leaving other granted and scheduled RSUs unaffected.
