FAQ

What insider transaction did ALB senior vice president Cynthia Renee Lima report?

Cynthia Renee Lima reported tax-withholding dispositions of Albemarle common stock. The company withheld shares to satisfy tax liabilities triggered by vesting restricted stock units, rather than a discretionary open-market sale initiated for investment reasons.

How many Albemarle (ALB) shares were disposed of in this Form 4 filing?

The filing shows two tax-withholding dispositions totaling 340 shares. One entry covers 196 common shares and another covers 144 common shares, both withheld on February 24, 2026, to meet tax obligations associated with restricted stock unit vesting.

At what price were the Albemarle (ALB) shares withheld for taxes?

Both tax-withholding dispositions used a price of $186.83 per share. This price applies to the 196-share and 144-share withholdings recorded on February 24, 2026, when restricted stock units vested and triggered related tax liabilities.

How many Albemarle (ALB) shares does Cynthia Renee Lima own after these transactions?

Following the reported tax-withholding dispositions, Cynthia Renee Lima directly owns 12,559 Albemarle common shares. This figure reflects her updated direct beneficial ownership as recorded in the Form 4 after the restricted stock unit vesting events.

Why does the Albemarle (ALB) Form 4 mention 4,806 unvested RSUs?

The filing notes that 4,806 unvested restricted stock units are now included in her reported holdings. This revises earlier reports so that time-based RSUs are treated as beneficially owned in Table 1, consistent with other Albemarle reporting persons’ methodology.

Were the Albemarle (ALB) insider transactions open-market sales?

No, the transactions are coded as tax-withholding dispositions, not open-market sales. Shares were withheld by Albemarle to cover tax liabilities generated when restricted stock units vested, rather than being voluntarily sold on the open market by the executive.
