Routine equity awards vested with related tax share withholding.

The transactions reflect standard executive equity compensation mechanics at Equitable Holdings, Inc.. Jeffrey J. Hurd received a grant or award of 57,904.5532 common shares, tied to Restricted Stock Units and Performance Shares earned under the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan for a defined 2023–2025 performance period.

The two Form 4 code F transactions, totaling 42,848 shares at $40.22 per share, are explicitly described as shares withheld to satisfy tax liabilities upon vesting of prior Restricted Stock Units and Performance Shares, rather than open-market sales. Following these entries, Hurd’s direct holdings stand at 94,071.1132 shares, including Restricted Stock Units.

The net effect is an increase in directly held equity from previously reported levels, but the long-term impact depends on future performance-based awards and subsequent vesting disclosures in later periods.
