Insights

Equity compensation analyst

Routine RSU tax withholding with substantial holdings retained.

The transactions all use code F, meaning shares were withheld to cover tax obligations from RSU vesting, not discretionary open-market sales. Footnotes tie each withholding to specific RSU grants from 2024, 2025, and 2026.

In total, 21,222 shares of Class A common stock were withheld at prices around $10.34–$10.41. After these events, Ian Tickle still holds about 933,110 shares directly, indicating these are routine compensation-related adjustments rather than a change in his overall exposure to Freshworks.
