Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Form 4 highlight: On 08/05/2025 Jazz Pharmaceuticals (JAZZ) EVP & Chief Commercial Officer Samantha Pearce reported the disposition of 577 ordinary shares at $116.10 via code “F,” indicating shares were automatically withheld to satisfy tax obligations tied to the vesting of previously granted RSUs.

After this withholding, Pearce directly owns 40,815 ordinary shares. No derivative securities were exercised, and no open-market purchases or sales occurred. A footnote notes Pearce acquired 166 shares through the company’s Section 423 ESPP on 05/30/2025; these are already included in the current ownership total.

The transaction represents roughly 1.4 % of Pearce’s reported holdings and is routine, suggesting minimal signaling value. Investors may view the filing as neutral, with insider alignment largely unchanged.

Insights

TL;DR: Routine tax-withholding; minimal market impact.

The Form 4 shows an executive’s administrative disposition, not an elective sale. Only 577 shares (≈1.4 % of holdings) were withheld to cover RSU taxes at $116.10. Post-transaction ownership remains a substantial 40,815 shares, suggesting continued alignment with shareholders. No derivative conversions or new option grants surfaced. Given the small size, absence of discretionary selling and the executive’s enlarged position from the recent ESPP purchase, I rate the filing neutral for share-price outlook.
