AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

What did NYT CEO Meredith Kopit Levien report in this Form 4?

She reported equity compensation activity, including performance-based shares and restricted stock unit grants, plus share deliveries to cover tax withholding. These transactions relate to The New York Times Company 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan, not open-market stock purchases or discretionary sales.

How many NYT shares were granted for performance under this filing?

The filing shows 177,140 shares acquired upon achieving specific goals over a January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025 performance period. These were issued under a performance-based equity award in The New York Times Company 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan.

Were any NYT shares sold on the open market in this Form 4?

The disposition transactions are coded as tax-withholding deliveries of shares back to The New York Times Company. They satisfy tax obligations tied to equity vesting and awards, rather than representing open-market sales to third-party investors.

What does the tax-withholding disposition code mean in the NYT Form 4?

The F-code transactions indicate shares delivered to the company to pay exercise price or tax liabilities. In this case, they cover withholding taxes on performance-based equity and restricted stock unit vesting under the 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan.

Does this NYT Form 4 change the CEO’s ownership structure?

It updates her direct holdings to reflect new performance-based and restricted stock unit awards, plus shares withheld for taxes. The transactions adjust the reported share count but are part of structured equity compensation, not a change in control or a new ownership arrangement.
