The reported ASTE transactions were not open-market trades. They are classified as stock award grants (code A) and tax-withholding dispositions (code F), where shares are withheld by the company to pay taxes or exercise costs associated with vesting stock awards rather than discretionary market purchases or sales.

Why were some of Barend Snyman’s ASTE shares disposed of in these transactions?

Shares were disposed of under transaction code F, which the filing describes as payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering securities. A footnote clarifies that certain shares were withheld specifically to satisfy applicable tax withholding obligations related to the vesting of company stock awards.

Does the ASTE Form 4 mention dividend equivalents on Barend Snyman’s awards?

Yes. A footnote states that the total share balance was updated to reflect dividend equivalents earned on the 2025 RSU award. This means additional shares were credited in line with dividends, adjusting the reported balance associated with that restricted stock unit grant for Astec Industries.
