Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Genuine Parts Company executive Alain Masse reported routine equity-compensation activity. On May 1, 2026, he received 1,050 shares of Common Stock as a grant of time-based RSUs that vest in three equal annual installments, and 5,715 shares issued upon settlement of PRSUs granted on May 1, 2023.

To cover related tax obligations, a total of 1,096 shares of Common Stock were disposed of at $104.99 per share through tax-withholding transactions, rather than open-market sales. Following these awards, dividend-accrual adjustments increased his holdings, and Masse now directly owns 25,429 shares of Genuine Parts Common Stock.

"ending balance has been increased by 26 shares to account for shares from dividend accrual"
PRSUs financial
"Reflects shares issued in settlement of PRSUs earned and vested under PRSU award"
A PRSU is a type of employee equity award that turns into actual company shares only if preset performance goals are met over a specified time. Think of it like a prize that only pays out when a team hits agreed targets; investors watch PRSUs because they tie management pay to results, can increase the number of shares outstanding when paid, and therefore affect shareholder value and incentives.
tax-withholding disposition financial
"transaction_action": "tax-withholding disposition""
A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.
