Rhea-AI Filing Summary

BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. (BJ) reporting person William C. Werner, EVP, Strategy & Development, recorded a transaction on 09/27/2025 in which 10,007 shares of Common Stock were disposed of at a price of $93.10 per share. The filing explains these shares were withheld by the issuer to satisfy tax liabilities arising from the vesting of performance stock units. After the withholding, Mr. Werner beneficially owns 57,498 shares directly. The Form 4 was signed by an attorney-in-fact on 09/30/2025. This appears to be a routine, non-open-market disposition to cover taxes rather than a voluntary sale.

Positive

  • Transaction is tax withholding for vested performance stock units rather than an open-market sale
  • Reporting person retains a direct ownership of 57,498 shares after the withholding, indicating continued stake

Negative

  • Direct holdings were reduced by 10,007 shares due to withholding to satisfy tax liabilities

Insights

TL;DR: A routine tax-withholding disposition of vested PSUs; not an open-market sale and likely minimal information impact.

The reported disposal of 10,007 shares at $93.10 per share is identified as shares withheld by the issuer to satisfy tax obligations tied to performance stock unit vesting. Because this is a withholding rather than a market sale, it does not necessarily signal a change in the reporting person's investment view or generate immediate market pressure. The remaining direct beneficial ownership is 57,498 shares, which provides context on the officer's continuing stake. For investors, this is a routine insider administrative transaction with limited informational content.

TL;DR: Administrative withholding for tax on PSUs; standard insider reporting and compliance with Section 16 disclosure.

This Form 4 documents compliance with Section 16 reporting following vesting of performance stock units. The mechanism—issuer withholding shares to cover tax liabilities—is a common practice that reduces share count without an open-market transfer. The filing was executed via attorney-in-fact, which is standard for administrative submissions. No governance or compensation-policy concerns are evident from the form alone; it simply records the tax-related share withholding and updated beneficial ownership.
