Why did the GTLS CFO dispose of 262 shares of Chart Industries stock?

He surrendered 262 shares of Chart Industries common stock to satisfy tax withholding liabilities. The transaction, coded “F,” was an exempt disposition under Rule 16b-3, meaning it was for tax payment purposes rather than a discretionary open-market sale of stock.

Are the GTLS CFO’s Form 4 transactions open-market buys or sells?

No, the transactions are compensation-related. The 1,072-share acquisition is a stock award from vested performance units, and the 262-share disposition is a tax-withholding surrender under Rule 16b-3, not an open-market purchase or sale on a securities exchange.
