Insights

Equity Compensation Analyst

CEO equity awards triggered by a disclosed milestone; modest dilution offset by tax share withholding.

NextDecade Corp reported CEO equity changes tied to a milestone achieved on 10/16/2025. 223,509 restricted stock units (RSUs) vested at $0, and 223,510 RSUs became earned and will vest in two equal annual installments beginning 10/16/2026. The company withheld 87,951 shares to cover taxes at a stated value of $6.11 per share. Following these transactions, direct beneficial ownership stands at 5,605,384 shares.

What it means: a defined performance condition was met, releasing awards as designed. That is favorable for execution signaling and aligns pay with milestones. The tax withholding reduces net shares issued now, but the newly earned RSUs add scheduled equity delivery risk over time as they vest.

Why it matters: this creates incremental share issuance from the vested and future-vesting RSUs, while confirming a milestone achievement date of 10/16/2025. Items to watch include the two scheduled vesting events starting 10/16/2026, future Form 4s reflecting those deliveries, and any compensation disclosures that detail the underlying performance metric.
