What insider transaction did FITB EVP Bridgit Chayt report?

Bridgit Chayt reported tax-withholding dispositions of Fifth Third common stock. Shares were withheld when restricted stock units vested, satisfying tax obligations rather than representing open-market sales by the executive.

How many Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB) transactions were reported in this Form 4?

The Form 4 lists four separate common stock transactions. Each is coded “F,” indicating shares were withheld to pay taxes upon vesting of previously granted restricted stock units, not discretionary market sales.

What does transaction code F mean for the FITB insider activity?

Transaction code F indicates payment of tax liability or exercise price by delivering securities. In this case, Fifth Third shares were withheld when restricted stock units vested, covering taxes instead of the executive selling shares on the market.

At what price were FITB shares withheld for Bridgit Chayt’s tax obligations?

All reported tax-withholding dispositions used a price of $52.86 per share. This price was applied to common shares withheld when restricted stock units vested, as disclosed across the four transactions in the Form 4.

How many Fifth Third (FITB) shares does Bridgit Chayt own after these transactions?

After the reported tax-withholding dispositions, Bridgit Chayt directly holds 47,561 shares of Fifth Third common stock. This post-transaction balance reflects shares remaining following RSU vesting-related tax withholdings.

Were the FITB insider transactions open-market buys or sells?

No, the transactions were not open-market buys or sells. They were coded “F,” meaning Fifth Third shares were withheld solely to pay taxes tied to vesting restricted stock units granted in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
