[Form 4] FORRESTER RESEARCH, INC. Insider Trading Activity
Forrester Research (FORR) Form 4: Leo Christian Finn, listed as Chief Financial Officer, reported the vesting and conversion of restricted stock units into common stock on 10/01/2025. A tranche of 5,040 RSUs converted into common shares (reported as an acquisition at $0), increasing his direct beneficial ownership to 28,731 shares before withholding. To satisfy tax withholding obligations on vesting, 1,479 shares were withheld and disposed at $9.94 per share, leaving 27,252 shares reported as directly owned after the transactions. The RSU award was originally granted on 10/01/2021 for 20,161 units that vest in four equal annual installments. The form is signed by an attorney-in-fact on 10/02/2025.
- Alignment with shareholders: Vesting of 5,040 RSUs converts compensation into equity, aligning the CFO's interests with shareholders
- Clear disclosure: Form 4 details the grant date, vesting schedule, and tax-withholding amount, supporting transparency
- Share dilution/tax withholding impact: 1,479 shares were withheld to satisfy taxes, reducing the net shares delivered to the reporting person
- No open-market purchase: The transaction was a conversion of RSUs rather than an additional cash investment by the insider
Insights
TL;DR: Routine executive equity vesting; modest net share increase after tax withholding, no cash proceeds for the officer.
The Form 4 documents a standard vesting event: 5,040 RSUs converted to common stock with immediate share-withholding of 1,479 shares to cover taxes. The acquisition is recorded at $0 because RSUs convert into shares rather than an open-market purchase. Net direct ownership ended at 27,252 shares. This is a non-cash compensation realization that modestly changes insider share counts but does not indicate open-market buying or selling pressure.
TL;DR: Disclosure aligns with standard equity compensation practices and tax withholding; filing appears complete and timely.
The filing shows clear mapping from grant (10/01/2021) to scheduled vesting and the issuer's use of share-withholding to satisfy taxes. The signature by an attorney-in-fact is properly noted. There are no indications of atypical transactions, related-party transfers, or exercise-for-cash events that would raise governance flags.
