Was the AMETEK (AME) CEO’s Form 4 transaction an open-market stock sale?

The Form 4 shows no open-market sale by AMETEK’s CEO. Instead, 12,797 shares were disposed of via tax withholding at $233.33 per share, tied to equity award settlement, rather than a discretionary sale into the market or a typical secondary stock transaction.

How many AMETEK (AME) shares did the CEO acquire through awards in this filing?

David Zapico acquired 32,519 AMETEK common shares at no cost through settlement of performance-based restricted stock units granted on March 22, 2023, increasing his directly held equity stake as part of the company’s long-term incentive compensation structure disclosed in this Form 4.

What does the tax-withholding disposition on the AMETEK (AME) Form 4 represent?

The tax-withholding disposition covers 12,797 AMETEK shares at $233.33 per share, delivered back to satisfy tax obligations from vesting awards. This method settles required taxes using shares instead of cash and is commonly reported under transaction code F on insider ownership forms.

What is the role of the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan in AMETEK (AME) CEO’s holdings?

The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan credited 76 additional common stock equivalents to the AMETEK CEO. These arose from dividend reinvestments, meaning cash dividends were automatically converted into additional plan units, modestly increasing his plan-related equity exposure without a separate market purchase.
