Kenvue (KVUE) CEO RSU Vesting Tied to Pending Kimberly-Clark Transaction

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Kenvue Inc.'s chief executive officer reported an equity award transaction dated December 15, 2025. On that date, 118,561.65 restricted stock units converted on a one-for-one basis into the same number of Kenvue common shares at an exercise price of $0.

Of the shares received, 66,614 were withheld at a price of $17.21 per share to cover taxes, leaving 51,947.65 common shares directly owned after the transaction. The vesting was accelerated from an original schedule of July 14, 2026 to mitigate the adverse impact of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with a pending transaction between Kenvue and Kimberly-Clark Corporation, and the award is subject to clawback if it is later determined the executive would not have ultimately vested absent this acceleration.
