Consensus Cloud (NASDAQ: CCSI) CAO vests PSUs and withholds shares for tax

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Consensus Cloud Solutions Chief Accounting Officer Karel Krulich reported equity compensation activity involving performance stock units and related tax withholding. On June 25, 2026, he exercised performance stock units covering 1,622 and 900 shares of common stock, converting these awards into shares.

In connection with this vesting, 941 common shares were disposed of at $35.03 per share to satisfy tax liabilities, which is a tax-withholding mechanism rather than an open-market sale. Following these transactions, Krulich directly held 40,120 shares of Consensus Cloud Solutions common stock.

The footnotes state that the vesting reflected stock price performance conditions from grants made on December 7, 2023 and December 6, 2024, with conditions met after the stock closed at or above $31.06 and $30.44, respectively, for at least twenty trading days within thirty consecutive trading days and after each grant’s first anniversary.

Insights

Equity compensation analyst

Routine PSU vesting with tax withholding; no open-market buying or selling.

The disclosure shows Karel Krulich converting performance stock units into common stock and having 941 shares withheld at $35.03 to cover tax obligations. Code F transactions are mechanical tax payments, not discretionary sales, while code M reflects derivative exercises.

The footnotes highlight that vesting was triggered by stock price performance hurdles of $31.06 and $30.44 sustained over specified trading periods and after each grant’s first anniversary. This ties the awards to share price performance rather than time-based vesting alone.

After these transactions, Krulich held 40,120 common shares directly, and no remaining derivative positions are listed. The pattern is typical of performance-based equity plans and largely administrative from an investment-signal standpoint.

Performance Stock Unit financial

"This vesting event signifies the achievement of the third of four stock price performance conditions associated with a grant of performance share units ("PSUs") made on December 7, 2023."

A performance stock unit is a type of reward companies give to employees, usually managers, that depends on how well the company performs over time. If the company hits specific goals, the employee earns shares of stock, like earning a prize for reaching certain levels in a game. It motivates employees to work hard because their rewards are tied to the company's success.

tax-withholding disposition financial

"Payment for a tax liability by withholding securities incident to vesting of a certain Performance Stock Unit."

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.

derivative security financial

"transaction_code_description: "Exercise or conversion of derivative security""

A derivative security is a financial contract whose value comes from the price or performance of something else, such as a stock, bond, commodity, or market index. For investors it acts like an insurance policy or a wager: it can be used to protect against losses, lock in prices, or amplify gains and losses, so it can change a portfolio’s risk and potential return without owning the underlying asset directly.

contingent right financial

"Each PSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company's common stock."
