FirstEnergy (FE) COO updates insider holdings after restricted stock vests

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

FirstEnergy Corp’s Chief Operating Officer reported routine equity activity related to previously granted stock awards. On November 30, 2025, 886 shares of common stock were withheld to cover tax obligations when 2,918 restricted shares vested under a 2023 Restricted Stock Award Agreement. After this withholding, the officer directly held 25,630.28 shares of FirstEnergy common stock.

The filing also updates the officer’s indirect holdings through the company’s 401(k) Savings Plan. That plan uses a unitized fund invested in FirstEnergy stock with dividend reinvestment and company matching features, and the officer’s indirect position is reported as an estimated 480.7697 shares as of November 30, 2025. These updates reflect normal administration of equity compensation and retirement plan participation rather than a discretionary open-market trade.
