Restricted stock financial

"Restricted stock awarded to non-management directors as an annual retainer equity award"

Shares granted to an individual that carry limits on transfer or sale until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them as a locked gift that gradually opens; for investors they matter because they affect how many shares may enter the market later, signal management incentives and potential dilution, and reveal confidence in future company performance.

FAQ

What insider transactions did AGO director Courtney C. Shea report on this Form 4?

Shea reported two non-derivative Common Share transactions: a grant of 1,756 restricted shares at $0.00 per share and a withholding of 365 shares at $81.90 per share to cover tax liability, both reflecting routine compensation-related activity.

Was the AGO Form 4 transaction for Courtney C. Shea an open-market stock purchase or sale?

No, the filing shows no open-market purchases or sales. It reports a restricted stock award of 1,756 shares as director compensation and a tax-withholding disposition of 365 shares, which is a mechanistic step to pay taxes, not a discretionary market trade.

How many AGO shares does Courtney C. Shea hold after the reported Form 4 transactions?

After the reported transactions, Shea directly holds 10,751 Common Shares of Assured Guaranty Ltd. This reflects the impact of the 1,756-share restricted stock grant and prior tax-withholding of 365 shares associated with equity compensation obligations.

What is the nature of the 1,756 AGO restricted shares granted to Courtney C. Shea?

The 1,756 Common Shares are restricted stock awarded to a non-management director as an annual retainer equity award under the Assured Guaranty Ltd. 2024 Long Term Incentive Plan and become non-forfeitable immediately before the company’s 2027 annual shareholders meeting.

Why were 365 AGO shares reported as disposed of at $81.90 on the Form 4?

The 365 Common Shares at $81.90 per share were withheld to pay a tax liability. This is labeled as a tax-withholding disposition, meaning the shares were used to satisfy tax obligations arising from equity compensation rather than being sold in the open market.
