restricted stock units financial
"The shares of Common Stock were acquired upon the vesting of certain restricted stock units previously granted"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
tax withholding obligation financial
"The shares of Common Stock were withheld to satisfy the reporting person's tax withholding obligation"
derivative security financial
"Exercise or conversion of derivative security"
A derivative security is a financial contract whose value comes from the price or performance of something else, such as a stock, bond, commodity, or market index. For investors it acts like an insurance policy or a wager: it can be used to protect against losses, lock in prices, or amplify gains and losses, so it can change a portfolio’s risk and potential return without owning the underlying asset directly.

Did NETSCOUT (NTCT) CFO Anthony Piazza buy or sell shares on the market?

The filing shows no open-market buying or selling by Anthony Piazza. Shares were acquired through restricted stock unit vesting, and 589 shares were withheld by the company to satisfy tax obligations, which is different from discretionary market sales or purchases.

How many NETSCOUT (NTCT) shares does CFO Anthony Piazza hold after these transactions?

The 589 shares withheld for taxes were valued at $41.42 per share, which the filing identifies as the closing price of NETSCOUT’s Common Stock on June 12, 2026. That price was used solely to calculate the tax withholding amount for the vesting.
