FAQ

What insider transaction did GrafTech (EAF) report for Andrew James Renacci?

GrafTech reported that chief legal officer Andrew James Renacci exercised restricted stock units into 1,800 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.00 per share, reflecting a routine compensation-related equity delivery rather than an open-market purchase or sale.

How many GrafTech (EAF) shares were withheld for taxes in this Form 4?

A total of 526 shares of GrafTech common stock were withheld at $5.23 per share to satisfy tax obligations arising from the restricted stock unit conversion, a standard non-market tax-withholding disposition that does not represent an open-market sale decision by the insider.

How many GrafTech (EAF) shares does Andrew James Renacci hold after the transactions?

Following the March 12, 2026 transactions, Andrew James Renacci directly holds 8,891 shares of GrafTech common stock. This balance reflects the 1,800 shares received from RSU conversion, reduced by 526 shares withheld to cover associated tax liabilities on the equity compensation.

What was the nature of the RSUs involved in the GrafTech (EAF) insider filing?

The filing shows restricted stock units that convert into GrafTech common stock on a one-for-one basis. An earlier grant of 5,401 RSUs was disclosed, which vests in three equal annual installments beginning March 12, 2025, tying equity awards to continued service over several years.

Did the GrafTech (EAF) insider Form 4 reflect any open-market stock sales or purchases?

No open-market purchases or sales were reported. The Form 4 shows an RSU conversion into 1,800 common shares and a related tax-withholding disposition of 526 shares, which is a mechanical step to pay taxes rather than a discretionary trade in the open market.

How do dividend equivalent rights affect the GrafTech (EAF) RSU grant mentioned?

The 5,401 RSUs granted on March 12, 2024 accrue additional RSUs through dividend equivalent rights based on GrafTech’s closing stock price if the Board declares dividends, although the Board previously elected to suspend a quarterly cash dividend of $0.01 per share on August 2, 2023.
