FAQ

What did Vita Coco (COCO) COO Jonathan Burth report in this Form 4?

Jonathan Burth reported 818 Vita Coco common shares disposed to cover tax withholding. These shares were withheld by the company upon vesting and settlement of restricted stock units, making the transaction mandatory rather than a discretionary open-market trade by the executive.

Was the Vita Coco (COCO) COO’s 818-share disposition an open-market sale?

No, the 818-share disposition was not an open-market sale. The shares were automatically withheld by Vita Coco to satisfy tax obligations tied to restricted stock unit vesting, as described in the filing footnote, and did not reflect a voluntary trading decision.

How many Vita Coco (COCO) shares does the COO hold after this Form 4?

After the tax-withholding disposition, Chief Operating Officer Jonathan Burth directly owns 77,910 shares of Vita Coco common stock. This figure, disclosed in the filing, shows he retains a substantial equity stake despite the small, non-discretionary share withholding for taxes.

What stock options on Vita Coco (COCO) shares does the COO retain?

The COO holds several non-qualified stock options on Vita Coco common stock. These options carry exercise prices from $10.178 to $33.36 per share and have expiration dates spanning 2029 through 2035, indicating a long-dated incentive alignment with the company’s future performance.

Does this Vita Coco (COCO) Form 4 suggest a change in insider sentiment?

The Form 4 mainly shows a routine tax-withholding event of 818 shares, mandated upon RSU vesting. Because the COO still directly holds 77,910 shares and significant stock options, the filing appears administrative rather than a clear signal of changing insider sentiment.
