Insights

Routine RSU vesting and tax withholding; no open-market selling.

The filing shows Sonia L. Coleman, Sr. EVP & Chief People Officer of Walt Disney Co, reporting the vesting of restricted stock units on January 15, 2026 and January 17, 2026. A total of 2,880 and 1,181 restricted stock units, respectively, converted into Disney common stock at an exercise price of $0, consistent with standard equity compensation.

Footnotes clarify that the dispositions coded "F"—4 shares and 1,101 shares at $113.14, and 487 shares at $112.485—were automatic share reductions to satisfy withholding tax obligations and "do not constitute an actual sale or other open-market transaction." This indicates Coleman did not decide to sell shares on the market; the mechanics were driven by tax requirements.

The filing also notes remaining restricted stock units scheduled to vest as to 2,909 units on each of January 15, 2027 and January 15, 2028, and 1,181 units on July 17, 2026, all converting into common stock on a 1-for-1 basis. For investors, this reads as routine executive equity vesting and future share delivery under existing plans rather than a directional signal about insider sentiment.
