FAQ

What insider transactions did Summit Hotel Properties (INN) report for Jonathan P. Stanner?

Summit Hotel Properties reported that CEO Jonathan P. Stanner surrendered shares for tax withholding and forfeited performance-based shares back to the company, both related to equity awards. These were non-market dispositions, not open-market purchases or sales of stock.

How many Summit Hotel Properties shares did the CEO surrender for tax withholding?

Jonathan P. Stanner surrendered 98,492 shares of Summit Hotel Properties common stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations. This was linked to the vesting of previously issued restricted stock awards and did not involve an open-market sale of shares for cash proceeds.

Why were 256,477 Summit Hotel Properties shares forfeited by the CEO?

The 256,477 forfeited shares were tied to performance-based vesting conditions under the company’s equity incentive plan. They were returned to the issuer because the specified performance metrics were not achieved, so those performance awards did not ultimately vest for the CEO.

Did the Summit Hotel Properties CEO sell any shares on the open market in this Form 4?

The filing does not show any open-market sales. Instead, it reports a tax-withholding share surrender and a forfeiture of performance-based awards to the issuer, both non-cash compensation-related events rather than discretionary market trades by the CEO.

How many Summit Hotel Properties (INN) shares does the CEO hold after these transactions?

After the reported tax-withholding surrender and forfeiture, Jonathan P. Stanner directly holds 2,099,813 shares of Summit Hotel Properties common stock. This reflects his ongoing equity stake following the routine adjustment of his restricted and performance-based stock awards.

What do the Form 4 footnotes reveal about the CEO’s Summit Hotel Properties transactions?

The footnotes explain that 98,492 shares were surrendered solely to cover tax obligations from restricted stock vesting, while 256,477 shares were forfeited because performance targets were not met. These disclosures clarify that the changes arose from compensation plan mechanics, not market trading decisions.
