FAQ

What insider transaction did FBIN executive Kristin Papesh report?

Kristin Papesh reported a tax-withholding disposition of 1,757 Fortune Brands Innovations shares. The issuer withheld these shares upon vesting of equity awards to satisfy tax obligations, rather than selling them on the open market, under an exemption in Rule 16b-3(e).

Was Kristin Papesh’s FBIN share transaction an open-market sale?

No, the FBIN transaction was not an open-market sale. The issuer withheld 1,757 shares at $52.37 each to cover taxes owed on vested awards, a standard tax-withholding disposition instead of a discretionary sale into the market by the executive.

How many Fortune Brands Innovations shares does Kristin Papesh own after this filing?

After the tax-withholding disposition, Kristin Papesh directly holds 20,991 FBIN common shares. Footnotes explain this total includes 17,353 restricted stock units that have not yet vested, so a portion of the reported holdings remains subject to future vesting conditions.

What price per share was used for the FBIN tax-withholding disposition?

The issuer valued the 1,757 withheld FBIN shares at $52.37 per share. This fair market value was applied to cover the executive’s withholding tax obligations that arose when restricted stock or restricted stock units vested and were settled in company stock.

What do the unvested restricted stock units mean for FBIN’s Kristin Papesh?

Footnotes state Kristin Papesh’s holdings include 17,353 unvested restricted stock units in FBIN. These units represent potential future shares that will only be delivered if specified vesting conditions are met, so they are part of her reported stake but not yet freely tradable.
