Insights

Equity compensation and governance analyst

Routine equity awards and tax-withholding; no open-market insider selling.

The disclosure shows equity compensation activity for NMI Holdings’ EVP and Chief Risk Officer, including new restricted stock units and the vesting of earlier performance-based units. All transactions occur at a reported price of $0 per share, reflecting grants and non-cash settlements.

Two Form 4 codes matter here. Code A indicates acquisition through grants and PRSU vesting, while code F marks tax-withholding dispositions used to satisfy withholding obligations. These F-code entries are not discretionary open-market sales, which limits their signaling value for investors.

Post-transaction, the executive’s direct holdings total 108,381 common shares, combining vested stock and 25,140 unvested restricted stock units. Overall, this looks like routine compensation and tax mechanics rather than a change in strategic stance by management.
