Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc.’s Chief Financial Officer, James S. Cox, reported a series of equity dispositions and awards tied to the company’s cash merger with GT Silver BidCo, Inc.

On Class A Common Stock, he disposed of 480,419 shares at $24.55 per share in a transaction coded as a disposition to the issuer, consistent with the merger terms that convert each outstanding share into the right to receive $24.55 in cash.

Cox also disposed of multiple fully vested stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), and performance stock units (PSUs), which were cancelled at the merger effective time in exchange for cash based on the same $24.55 per-share merger consideration, less any option exercise price where applicable. The filing notes that PSU performance conditions were deemed achieved at 110% of target. In connection with this, he received new PSU grants for 91,665 and 18,333 units, which remain subject to their time-vesting schedules.

Insights

CFO’s equity is cashed out in a merger, with new PSUs granted.

The transactions show CWAN CFO James S. Cox’s equity awards being reshaped by a cash merger at $24.55 per share. His 480,419 Class A shares and multiple options, RSUs, and PSUs were cancelled or disposed of to the issuer in exchange for cash-based merger consideration.

These are largely mechanical outcomes of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, not open‑market trading. PSUs had performance deemed achieved at 110% of target, and replacement PSU awards of 91,665 and 18,333 units remain subject to time‑vesting. Some options convert into options on an affiliate, indicating continued incentive alignment post‑merger.

Because the activity reflects pre‑agreed merger mechanics rather than discretionary buying or selling, it offers limited incremental signal about the CFO’s view of value beyond the already‑announced $24.55-per-share deal terms.

  1. The reported securities were disposed of pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of December 20, 2025, by and among the Issuer, GT Silver BidCo, Inc. ("Parent") and GT Silver Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock ("Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time") was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $24.55 per share, without interest (the "Merger Consideration"). The reported Performance Stock Units ("PSUs") had their performance conditions deemed achieved at 110% of target pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, but remain subject to any time-vesting conditions. At the Effective Time, all outstanding options to purchase shares of Common Stock ("Options") and Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") held by non-employee directors were canceled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the award, less the aggregate exercise price in the case of any Options. In the case of PSUs and RSUs not held by non-employee directors, the awards were also canceled in exchange for a cash payment, calculated in the same manner as for RSUs held by non-employee directors, but the resulting cash payment will be subject to the time-vesting terms and conditions that applied to the underlying award immediately prior to the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, a portion of the reported Options became options to purchase shares of an affiliate of Parent. The reported RSUs were scheduled to vest on January 1, 2027. The reported RSUs were scheduled to vest in equal installments at the end of each 3-month period following June 30, 2026 and until December 31, 2027. The reported RSUs were scheduled to vest in equal installments at the end of each 3-month period following June 30, 2026 and until December 31, 2028. The reported Options were all fully vested.

Agreement and Plan of Merger regulatory
"The reported securities were disposed of pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger"
An Agreement and Plan of Merger is a formal document where two companies agree to combine into one, outlining how the process will happen. It’s like a step-by-step plan for merging, and it matters because it shows both sides have agreed on the details before the official transition takes place.
Merger Consideration financial
"was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $24.55 per share"
Merger consideration is the total payment a company or buyer offers to shareholders of a target company in exchange for combining the two businesses, and can include cash, shares in the surviving company, debt assumption, or a mix of these. Investors care because the form and amount affect the deal’s value, tax consequences, immediate cash received versus future ownership, and the risk and upside of holding new shares — similar to choosing between cash now or stock that could grow later.
Restricted Stock Units financial
"At the Effective Time, all outstanding options to purchase shares of Common Stock and Restricted Stock Units held by non-employee directors were canceled"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
Performance Stock Units financial
"The reported Performance Stock Units had their performance conditions deemed achieved at 110% of target"
Performance stock units are a type of company award that grants employees shares of stock only if certain performance goals are met. They motivate employees to work toward specific company achievements, aligning their interests with those of shareholders. For investors, they can influence a company's future stock supply and reflect management’s confidence in reaching key targets.
