Meta Platforms (META) CPO Cox settles RSUs, trust now holds 247,994 shares

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Meta Platforms Chief Product Officer Christopher K. Cox reported multiple equity transactions tied to his Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) in Class A shares. On February 15, 2026, several RSU tranches were exercised and settled into Class A Common Stock held indirectly through the Christopher K. Cox Revocable Trust, increasing that trust’s holdings to 247,994 Class A shares as of that date. The filing notes that 8,153 Class A shares at a price of $639.77 per share were withheld by Meta to cover income tax obligations in connection with net settlement of the RSUs, and this withholding is explicitly described as not representing a sale. A separate entry shows 55,046 Class A shares held indirectly through the Cox-Vadakan Irrevocable Remainder Trust, which is reported as an indirect holding rather than a new transaction.
