Rhea-AI Filing Summary

KLA CORP executive Mary Beth Wilkinson, EVP, CLO and Secretary, reported an open-market sale of 14,392 shares of common stock at $285.30 per share on July 1, 2026. After this transaction, she directly holds 53,367.295 shares of KLA common stock.

The filing also shows a separate disposition of 10,259.765 shares on June 30, 2026 to cover tax withholding obligations tied to vesting restricted stock units. Footnotes state that 24,651.900 shares from a 2022 performance-based RSU grant vested on that date, and the tax shares were automatically withheld based on the June 29, 2026 closing price.

According to the disclosure, Wilkinson’s reported holdings include 53,297.820 shares issuable upon vesting of RSUs. The sale was executed under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on February 2, 2026, indicating the sale was scheduled in advance rather than timed discretionarily.

Insights

Executive’s share sale is partly offset by RSU vesting and appears routine under a pre-planned 10b5-1 program.

The filing shows EVP and CLO Mary Beth Wilkinson sold 14,392 shares of KLA CORP common stock at $285.30 per share in an open-market transaction. She still holds 53,367.295 shares directly, so this is a partial reduction rather than an exit.

A separate F-code transaction on June 30, 2026 reflects 10,259.765 shares withheld to pay taxes on 24,651.900 vested PRSUs from a 2022 grant. Such tax-withholding dispositions are mechanical and do not represent an open-market sale decision.

Footnotes also note that her position includes 53,297.820 RSU-based shares, highlighting significant ongoing equity exposure. The sale was made under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on February 2, 2026, which typically indicates pre-scheduled, programmatic selling rather than opportunistic timing. Overall, the activity looks like routine compensation-related vesting plus a planned share sale.

  1. On August 4, 2022, the reporting person was granted RSUs with both performance-based and service-based vesting conditions ("PRSUs") divided into three tranches. On August 7, 2025, KLA's Board of Directors and Compensation and Talent Committee determined that the performance conditions applicable to the second tranche of these PRSUs were satisfied. On June 30, 2026, 24,651.900 shares vested. Pursuant to the terms of the grant, shares of KLA common stock were automatically withheld to cover required tax withholding on the 24,651.900 shares of KLA common stock that vested. The fair market value of KLA common stock used for purposes of calculating the number of shares to be withheld was the closing price of KLA common stock as reported on June 29, 2026. The number of shares of KLA common stock includes 53,297.820 shares issuable upon vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs"). This sale was effected pursuant to the terms of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the Reporting Person on February 2, 2026.

restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"The number of shares of KLA common stock includes 53,297.820 shares issuable upon vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs")."
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.
performance-based and service-based vesting conditions financial
"the reporting person was granted RSUs with both performance-based and service-based vesting conditions ("PRSUs") divided into three tranches."
PRSUs financial
"RSUs with both performance-based and service-based vesting conditions ("PRSUs") divided into three tranches."
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 financial
"shares of KLA common stock were automatically withheld to cover required tax withholding on the 24,651.900 shares"
Tax withholding is the practice of taking a portion of a payment—such as wages, dividends, or sale proceeds—before it reaches the recipient and sending that portion to the tax authority as an advance on the recipient’s eventual tax bill. For investors it matters because withholding reduces immediate cash received and affects after‑tax returns, estimated tax payments, and whether you may owe more or receive a refund when taxes are finally calculated, like having a small automatic savings set aside for your tax bill.
Rule 10b5-1 trading plan financial
"This sale was effected pursuant to the terms of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the Reporting Person"
A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a pre-arranged schedule that allows company insiders to buy or sell stock at specific times, even if they have inside information. It helps prevent accusations of unfair trading by making these transactions look planned and transparent, rather than sneaky or illegal.
