Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") financial
"in connection with the vesting and net settlement of previously reported Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")"
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.
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.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan financial
"acquired under the AppLovin Corporation 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan on May 20, 2026"
An employee stock purchase plan is a company program that lets workers buy shares through small payroll deductions, often at a discount to the market price and after a set offering period. Think of it like a workplace savings plan that turns into ownership: it encourages employees to share in the company’s success and can create predictable buying or selling of stock that investors watch because it affects supply, demand and employee incentives.
Class A Common Stock financial
"security_title": "Class A Common Stock""
Class A common stock is a category of a company’s shares that carries a specific set of ownership rights—most commonly defined voting power and claims on dividends—set out in the company’s charter. For investors it matters because the class determines how much influence you have over corporate decisions, the share’s likely dividend and trading behavior, and how it compares in value to other share classes, like choosing a particular seat with different privileges at the company’s decision-making table.

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
What insider transaction did AppLovin (APP) report for Dmitriy Dorosh?
AppLovin reported that principal accounting officer Dmitriy Dorosh had 331 Class A shares withheld for taxes. This occurred in connection with the vesting and net settlement of previously reported RSUs, and is classified as a tax-withholding disposition rather than an open-market sale.
Was the AppLovin (APP) Form 4 transaction a sale by Dmitriy Dorosh?
The Form 4 transaction was not a sale by Dmitriy Dorosh. According to the footnote, the 331 shares were withheld by AppLovin to satisfy income tax and withholding obligations tied to vesting RSUs, a standard non-market event for equity compensation.
Do restricted stock units (RSUs) play a role in this AppLovin (APP) Form 4?
Yes. The filing explains the withheld shares relate to the vesting and net settlement of previously reported RSUs. When RSUs vest, companies commonly withhold a portion of the resulting shares to cover tax liabilities instead of requiring employees to pay taxes in cash.
