[Form 4] Flowserve Corporation Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Academy Sports & Outdoors (ASO) – Form 4 filed 07/30/2025: Director Ken C. Hicks converted 1,245 performance-based restricted stock units into common shares (Transaction Code M, $0 exercise price) under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan. To cover tax withholding, 402 shares were automatically sold (Code F) at $53.86.

After the transactions, Hicks’ direct ownership stands at 447,710 common shares. He also retains 11,515 unvested RSUs that may settle through 2032 subject to continued service and stock-price hurdles. No other derivative or non-derivative changes were reported.

Positive

• Net acquisition of 1,245 shares by a board member reflects continued insider confidence.
• Performance-based vesting indicates alignment of equity compensation with measurable targets.

Negative

• 402-share sale (Code F) slightly offsets the acquisition, although it was for tax withholding and immaterial in size.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Small insider net buy; limited market impact.

The filing shows a modest increase in Ken Hicks’ equity stake, signalling continued alignment with shareholders. Only 402 shares (≈0.09% of his holdings) were sold for statutory taxes, a routine move that does not suggest bearish sentiment. Retained ownership of 447,710 shares plus 11,515 RSUs keeps his incentive tied to long-term performance metrics certified by the compensation committee. Given the scale—under 0.6% of ASO’s float—the transaction is informational rather than price-moving.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Performance-based vesting underscores pay-for-performance.

The RSUs stem from a 2022 grant where 93.7% of targets were met, demonstrating that equity awards are contingent on measurable goals. Monthly vesting over 48 months maintains continuous retention pressure on the director. The absence of discretionary acceleration and the small tax sale comply with best-practice governance. Overall, neutral impact on governance risk profile.
