tax-withholding disposition financial

"transaction_action": "tax-withholding disposition""

A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.

Common Shares financial

""security_title": "Common Shares""

Common shares are the basic units of ownership in a company that give holders a claim on profits and a right to vote on key matters, like electing the board. Think of them as membership cards in a club: they let you share in successes and losses, but in a bankruptcy or liquidation they are paid after creditors and preferred shareholders, so their value can swing more and matters for assessing risk and potential return.

Payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering securities financial

""transaction_code_description": "Payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering securities""

exchange rate financial

"using an exchange rate of C$1.3825 = US$1.00"

Exchange rate is the price of one currency expressed in another—for example, how many euros you receive for one US dollar. It matters to investors because changes in that price alter the reported profits, costs and value of assets for companies and portfolios that operate or hold money across borders; think of it like switching measurement units, where the same item can look bigger or smaller depending on the unit used.

FAQ

What insider transaction did LAC SVP Finance Robert Russell-Smith report?

Robert Russell-Smith reported a tax-withholding disposition of 2,379 Lithium Americas common shares. These shares were withheld by the company to satisfy tax obligations, rather than sold on the open market, and therefore do not represent a discretionary share sale.

The filing shows 2,379 common shares of Lithium Americas were disposed of in a tax-withholding transaction. This was classified as a payment of tax liability by delivering securities, not an open-market trade, so it reflects compensation mechanics rather than active buying or selling.

At what price were the LAC shares valued in the tax-withholding transaction?

The 2,379 common shares were valued at $4.13 per share for the tax-withholding disposition. This price is used solely to determine the value of shares delivered for tax purposes and does not necessarily represent a separate open-market sale price.

Was the LAC insider transaction a market sale or tax withholding event?
