FAQ

What insider activity did Marqeta (MQ) disclose for Sarah Barkema on this Form 4?

Marqeta reported that Principal Accounting Officer Sarah Barkema had multiple RSU awards vest on March 1, 2026, converting 38,889 restricted stock units into Class A Common shares. Related share dispositions occurred only to cover tax withholding, not as open-market sales.

Did Marqeta (MQ) officer Sarah Barkema sell shares in the open market?

The filing shows no open-market sales. Instead, 9,697 Class A Common shares were withheld by Marqeta at $3.89 per share to satisfy tax obligations from RSU vesting, which the footnotes clarify was not a market transaction but an issuer tax-withholding arrangement.

How many Marqeta (MQ) RSUs vested for Sarah Barkema and into what did they convert?

A total of 38,889 restricted stock units vested for Sarah Barkema on March 1, 2026. Each RSU is convertible into one share of Marqeta Class A Common Stock, so the vesting resulted in the issuance of an equal number of common shares to her account.

How do the RSU vesting schedules work for Marqeta (MQ) officer Sarah Barkema?

The footnotes describe several RSU awards with staged vesting. Portions vested on dates such as September 1, 2025 and December 1, 2025, with additional installments on March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1, contingent on her continued service with Marqeta.

Why are the Marqeta (MQ) Form 4 transactions described as exempt under Section 16(b)?

Footnotes state the RSU conversions are exempt under Rule 16b-6(b) and the tax-withholding share dispositions are exempt under Rule 16b-3(e) of the Securities Exchange Act. These provisions treat such compensatory and tax-settlement transactions differently from ordinary market trading.
