FAQ

What insider transactions did Home Depot (HD) EVP William D. Bastek report?

William D. Bastek reported a grant of 1,126 shares of Home Depot common stock and a related tax-withholding disposition of 336 shares. These movements were tied to vested performance shares from the Fiscal 2023-2025 performance share award and adjusted his directly held share balance.

Was the Home Depot (HD) insider transaction an open market buy or sell?

The filing shows a grant of 1,126 shares and a tax-withholding disposition of 336 shares, not an open market purchase or sale. The disposition was reported with code F, meaning shares were delivered to satisfy tax liability associated with the vested performance share award.

How many Home Depot (HD) shares does William D. Bastek own after this Form 4?

After the reported transactions, William D. Bastek directly owns 24,837.9469 shares of Home Depot common stock. This balance reflects the 1,126-share grant from vested performance shares and the 336-share tax-withholding disposition recorded on the same transaction date.

What is the significance of the 1,126-share grant reported by Home Depot (HD) EVP Bastek?

The 1,126-share grant reflects performance shares earned upon vesting of the Fiscal 2023-2025 performance share award. It represents compensation linked to performance criteria, increasing Bastek’s direct ownership in Home Depot before the separate tax-withholding share disposition reduced the net shares retained.

The 336-share disposition is coded F, meaning shares were delivered to pay an exercise price or tax liability. Here it is described as a tax-withholding disposition tied to the vested performance share award, rather than a discretionary sale in the open market.
