4 terms

sell to cover transactions financial

"represents a nondiscretionary sale of shares required to be sold by the reporting person pursuant to sell to cover transactions"

tax withholding obligations financial

"sell to cover transactions to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting and settlement"

restricted stock units financial

"tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units"

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

weighted average price financial

"The price in Column 4 is a weighted average price. The prices at which the reported securities were sold"

Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.

Alfred J. Ford Jr. sold 5,936 shares on July 30, 8,681 shares on July 31, and 13,015 shares on August 3, 2026. All transactions involved KMTS Common Shares held directly and are tied to tax‑related sell‑to‑cover activity for restricted stock units.

Were the KMTS insider share sales by the CCO discretionary or related to taxes?

A key footnote explains that the sales represent nondiscretionary “sell‑to‑cover” transactions required to satisfy tax withholding obligations. They are linked to the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units, indicating the purpose was to cover taxes rather than initiate discretionary selling.

Were the Kestra Medical (KMTS) insider transactions under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan?

The document‑level Rule 10b5‑1 checkbox is not marked as an affirmatively adopted trading plan. Instead, footnote language characterizes the reported sales as sell‑to‑cover transactions for tax withholding tied to restricted stock units, rather than trades executed under a Rule 10b5‑1 plan.

Does the Form 4 show how many KMTS shares the CCO holds after these sales?

For each reported sale, the post‑transaction holdings field is not populated, so the filing does not state Alfred J. Ford Jr.’s remaining KMTS Common Share balance. The disclosure focuses on the 27,632 shares sold and the tax‑related purpose of those transactions.
