Jim A. Swanson received an option for 19,123 shares and 8,640 restricted stock units. Both were granted on February 27, 2026 as direct holdings and vest over four years in 25% annual installments, starting in 2027 for the new RSUs.

How do Jim A. Swanson’s new COLM stock options vest over time?

The option for 19,123 shares vests in four equal parts. It becomes exercisable for 25% of the shares on each of the first four anniversaries of the February 27, 2026 grant date, spreading potential exercises over four years.

When do the 8,640 new COLM restricted stock units granted to the CFO vest?

The 8,640 RSUs vest at 25% annually, beginning on March 1, 2027. If a vesting date falls on a day when the securities exchange is closed, the affected RSUs vest on the next securities exchange business day, according to the award terms.

What happened when Jim A. Swanson’s existing COLM RSUs vested on March 2, 2026?

Previously granted RSUs converted into common stock in two blocks of 1,346 and 1,369 shares. These conversions increased his directly held common stock before taxes and reflect standard one-for-one RSU-to-share settlement terms disclosed in the filing.

Why were 882 shares of COLM common stock withheld from Jim A. Swanson?

The 882 shares were withheld by the issuer to cover tax withholding obligations arising from RSU vesting. The withholding was priced at $60.1800 per share and is reported with transaction code F as a tax-withholding disposition, not an open-market sale.

How many COLM common shares does the CFO hold directly after these transactions?

After the RSU conversions and tax withholding, Jim A. Swanson holds 15,921 shares of COLM common stock directly. This reflects the post-transaction balance following the withholding of 882 shares for taxes on March 2, 2026.
