[Form 4] Balchem Corporation Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Balchem Corp. (BCPC) EVP, Chief Legal Officer & Secretary Hatsuki Miyata filed a Form 4 reporting an internal share withholding associated with restricted-stock vesting.

• Transaction: On 07/25/2025, 483 common shares were automatically withheld (code “F”) to satisfy tax obligations at a reported price of $148.82, representing roughly $72 k of tax value.
• Post-transaction ownership: 6,189 shares held directly; 462 shares held indirectly through the company 401(k) plan.
• Interpretation: Code F is a non-discretionary event; no open-market buying or selling occurred, so investment signal is neutral.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Small tax-withholding share reduction; neutral insider signal, no market impact.

Form 4 shows Miyata forfeited 483 shares to cover taxes upon restricted-stock vesting. Because code F transactions are mandatory and generate no cash, they seldom indicate sentiment. Post-event holdings remain stable, and no derivatives were exercised. The filing is informational only and unlikely to influence valuation or governance.
