FAQ

What insider transaction did NRP Executive Vice President Gregory Wooten report?

Gregory Wooten reported vesting of long-term incentive awards converting into 11,101 NRP common units. These units came from performance and phantom units granted in 2023–2025, reflecting scheduled equity compensation rather than open-market purchases, and increased his directly held common units before tax withholding.

How many NRP common units does Gregory Wooten own after this Form 4?

After the reported transactions, Gregory Wooten directly owns 34,834 NRP common units. This balance reflects 11,101 units received from equity award conversions on February 10, 2026, partially offset by 4,923 units disposed of to cover tax liabilities associated with those vesting awards.

What does the 4,923-unit disposition at $123.04 mean for NRP EVP Wooten?

The 4,923-unit disposition at $123.04 represents units withheld to pay tax liabilities. The Form 4 labels this as a tax-related transaction, not an open-market sale, and it reduced Wooten’s post-vesting holdings to 34,834 directly owned NRP common units.

Performance units granted in February 2023 and phantom units granted in 2023, 2024, and 2025 vested in part. These awards converted into a total of 11,101 common units, with remaining phantom units from the 2024 and 2025 grants scheduled to vest on later grant anniversaries.

Were Gregory Wooten’s NRP transactions open-market buys or equity award conversions?

The Form 4 uses transaction code M, indicating exercise or conversion of derivative securities, where performance and phantom units from NRP’s long-term incentive plan converted into 11,101 common units on February 10, 2026.

How do NRP’s phantom and performance units work in Gregory Wooten’s compensation?

Phantom and performance units grant Wooten the right to receive NRP common units after vesting.
