restricted stock units financial
"Represents an award of restricted stock units, which will vest in three equal annual installments"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
withholding taxes financial
"These shares were withheld for payment of the withholding taxes upon the vesting of the restricted stock units"
Withholding taxes are amounts a payer or government takes out of payments — such as wages, interest, or dividends — before the recipient gets the money, functioning like a cashier keeping part of a bill to pay taxes on your behalf. For investors this matters because it reduces the cash they actually receive, affects net returns and yield calculations, and may require additional paperwork or treaty claims to recover or offset the withheld amount against final tax bills.
payment of tax liability by delivering or withholding securities financial
"Transaction code F is described as payment of tax liability by delivering or withholding securities"

Why were 14,073 Shift4 (FOUR) shares disposed of in this Form 4?
The 14,073 shares were withheld on 2026-08-05 at $55.61 per share to pay withholding taxes. The shares relate to the vesting of restricted stock units previously granted on August 6, 2025, not to an open-market sale.

Were Shift4 (FOUR) CFO transactions under a Rule 10b5-1 plan?
No. The Rule 10b5-1 checkbox is not marked, and the footnotes do not reference any trading plan. This indicates the reported award and tax-withholding share disposition were not executed under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan.

What is the vesting schedule for the 24,854 RSUs at Shift4 (FOUR)?
The 24,854 restricted stock units will vest in three equal annual installments beginning on February 27, 2027. This means one-third of the units becomes vested on each annual vesting date over three years.

Does this Shift4 (FOUR) Form 4 show any open-market stock trades?
No. The Form 4 reports a grant of RSUs and shares withheld for taxes on RSU vesting. The code F transaction is explicitly described as payment of tax liability, not a purchase or sale in the open market.
