Rhea-AI Filing Summary

DraftKings Inc. executive Jason Robins reported a series of compensation-related equity transactions involving restricted stock units (RSUs) and associated tax withholding. On June 1, 2026, multiple RSU awards vested and were settled into Class A Common Stock, with no open-market sales reported.

Robins acquired a total of 126,566 shares of Class A Common Stock through derivative exercises/conversions of RSUs and had 61,197 shares withheld by the issuer at $26.33 per share to cover tax obligations. After these transactions, he directly held 3,646,239 shares of Class A Common Stock and indirectly held 90 shares through a revocable trust.

The footnotes explain that, upon each RSU vesting, shares were delivered to Robins net of those withheld for taxes, and that each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock. Prior RSU grants included 600,000, 262,467, 224,133 and 938,468 units vesting quarterly over four years from various start dates.

Insights

Routine RSU vesting with shares withheld for taxes, not market selling.

The transactions show Jason Robins receiving Class A Common Stock as his RSU awards vest. Codes "M" indicate derivative exercises/conversions of RSUs into 126,566 shares, a standard mechanism for settling stock-based compensation.

Codes "F" covering 61,197 shares at $26.33 per share reflect tax-withholding dispositions back to DraftKings Inc., not open-market sales. Footnotes explicitly state no shares were transferred or sold other than to the issuer for withholding taxes.

Following these actions, Robins holds 3,646,239 shares directly and 90 shares indirectly via a revocable trust. The filing also lists large multi-year RSU grants vesting quarterly, underscoring that these entries represent ongoing compensation rather than discretionary trading.

Restricted Stock Units financial
"The Reporting Person was granted 600,000 RSUs vesting quarterly over four (4) years"
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.
tax-withholding disposition financial
"Payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering securities"
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 exercise/conversion financial
"Exercise or conversion of derivative security"
Class A Common Stock financial
"Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock"
Class A common stock is a category of a company’s shares that carries a specific set of ownership rights—most commonly defined voting power and claims on dividends—set out in the company’s charter. For investors it matters because the class determines how much influence you have over corporate decisions, the share’s likely dividend and trading behavior, and how it compares in value to other share classes, like choosing a particular seat with different privileges at the company’s decision-making table.
Revocable Trust financial
"Held by Jason Robins Revocable Trust u/d/t January 8, 2014"
A revocable trust is a legal arrangement where the person who creates it keeps control and can change or cancel the trust at any time, while naming who will manage and receive the assets later. Think of it like a flexible folder for your investments and property that can be relabeled or reworked as circumstances change; it matters to investors because it determines how ownership is recorded, how easily assets transfer on incapacity or death, and whether holdings bypass public probate proceedings.
