Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Marqeta, Inc. executive Crystal Sumner reported multiple equity award vestings and related share settlements in Class A common stock on March 1, 2026. The transactions reflect exercises and conversions of restricted stock units and performance stock units tied to gross profit and adjusted EBITDA targets, all at a stated price of $0.00 per share for the conversions.

To cover tax withholding on these vestings, shares of Class A common stock were disposed of at a reference price of $3.89 per share, which the filing notes were withheld by Marqeta rather than sold in the open market. After these award-related acquisitions and tax-withholding dispositions, Sumner directly owned 407,512 shares of Marqeta Class A common stock.

Insights

Routine equity award vesting with tax withholding; no open‑market trading.

The filing shows Crystal Sumner receiving Marqeta equity through vesting and conversion of restricted stock units and performance stock units. These are compensation events, not open‑market purchases, with derivative exercises recorded at a stated price of $0.00 per share.

Several entries with code F document shares withheld at $3.89 per share to satisfy tax obligations, as explained in a footnote that characterizes them as non‑market transactions. The filing also notes performance awards linked to profit and adjusted EBITDA targets, with maximum vesting potential up to 200% of target. Overall, this appears to be standard equity compensation activity rather than a discretionary insider buy or sell.
