[Form 4] Fortive Corporation Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

On June 27 2025, Fortive Corporation (FTV) insider Tamara S. Newcombe, listed as President & CEO of PT, filed a Form 4 reporting a small accrual of derivative securities under the company’s Executive Deferred Incentive Program (EDIP). The filing shows the crediting of 8.758 phantom shares of Fortive common stock—classified as a derivative security in the EDIP stock fund—based on the NYSE closing price of $71.60 on the transaction date. Following this notional dividend accrual, Newcombe’s total beneficial ownership in the EDIP stock fund stands at 7,847.195 phantom shares. These phantom shares convert 1-for-1 into Fortive common stock upon settlement, typically triggered by retirement, death, or other vesting conditions outlined in the EDIP. Ownership is reported as direct, and no open-market cash transaction occurred.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Routine EDIP dividend accrual; immaterial size; no market impact.

The Form 4 discloses a standard notional dividend accrual within Fortive’s Executive Deferred Incentive Program, adding just 8.8 phantom shares (≈ $630) to Tamara Newcombe’s deferred account. Because these are bookkeeping entries rather than cash purchases or sales, liquidity and float remain unchanged. The total stake of 7,847 phantom shares equates to roughly $560k—still minimal relative to Fortive’s market capitalization—so the event is non-material for valuation or governance considerations. Investors can view it as routine insider reporting compliance rather than a signal of insider sentiment.

Explanation of Responses:

1. The reported securities are notional dividend accruals on phantom shares in the Fortive stock fund (the "EDIP Stock Fund") under Fortive's Executive Deferred Incentive Program (the "EDIP"). The number of phantom shares accrued as a result of such notional dividend accruals is based on the closing price of the Issuer's common stock as reported on the NYSE on the date such dividend accruals are credited to the EDIP Stock Fund, which is the price shown in Table II, Column 8 above.

2. The notional shares convert on a one-to-one basis.

3. The Reporting Person immediately vests in 100% of each voluntary contribution to the EDIP Stock Fund. The Reporting Person will vest in all contributions to the EDIP Stock Fund by the Issuer as follows: 100% upon the earlier of the Reporting Person's death, or upon retirement following at least 5 years of service with the Issuer and reaching the age of 55, or, if earlier, one-tenth per year of participation following five years of participation, in each case in accordance with the EDIP. Upon termination of employment, the vested portion of the EDIP Stock Fund is settled in the Issuer's common stock.
