Insights
Routine equity compensation: options/RSUs exercised, shares withheld for taxes.
Sanjay Beri, CEO and Chairman of Netskope Inc, exercised derivative awards and RSUs covering 2,031,372 shares of Class B Common Stock at a stated exercise price of $0.0000. These transactions convert previously granted equity awards into actual shares.
To satisfy tax obligations from the RSU vesting, 561,474 shares were withheld at $10.94 per share, a standard non-market disposition that does not represent an open-market sale. Following these events, Beri holds 1,940,620 Class B shares directly and a large additional indirect stake through a revocable trust.
The filing also highlights long-dated vesting schedules—39 monthly and 14 quarterly RSU installments starting on July 19, 2026 and October 1, 2026—and automatic 1:1 conversion of Class B into Class A shares by September 19, 2035. These features outline a multi-year equity compensation and capital structure framework, but do not indicate any discretionary market buying or selling.
