[Form 4] ORACLE CORP Insider Trading Activity
Jeffrey Henley, Vice Chairman and a director of Oracle Corporation (ORCL), reported multiple insider transactions tied to vesting of restricted stock units and tax-withholding dispositions in September 2025. On 09/19/2025 and 09/20/2025 Henley had restricted stock units vest (codes M) resulting in acquisitions of 13,425 and 33,035 shares, settled at $0 as units converted into common stock. On 09/19/2025 and 09/22/2025 shares were withheld to satisfy tax liabilities (code F(1)), resulting in dispositions of 5,891 shares at $296.62 and 14,464 shares at $308.66. Following these reported transactions Henley’s beneficial ownership positions are shown as 1,016,303 and 1,001,839 shares (reported as indirect holdings by trusts), with additional holdings reported as 145,114 shares by a GRAT and 362,029 shares by the Henley Community Property Trust. The filings were signed by Aimee Weast as attorney-in-fact on 09/23/2025.
- Continued substantial beneficial ownership: Reported indirect holdings exceed 1,000,000 shares, indicating sustained alignment with shareholders.
- Routine compensation activity: Acquisitions reflect RSU vesting rather than open-market selling, consistent with long-term incentive realization.
- Shares withheld for taxes: Dispositions of 5,891 and 14,464 shares at $296.62 and $308.66 reduce share count, though these are tax-related and routine.
Insights
TL;DR: Routine RSU vesting and tax-withholding sales; Henley retains substantial indirect ownership exceeding one million shares, indicating continued long-term exposure.
The Form 4 discloses standard non-derivative activity: restricted stock units vested (codes M) and a portion withheld to cover taxes (F(1)). Net changes are small relative to the scale of reported beneficial ownership. The filings show indirect holdings via trusts and a GRAT, consistent with estate and tax planning rather than active market disposition. For investors, these transactions do not indicate a material change in insider alignment with shareholders.
TL;DR: Insider reported routine compensation settlements and tax withholdings; disclosures and POA signature comply with Section 16 reporting norms.
The Form 4 is properly executed by a power-of-attorney and details both acquisitions from vesting and shares withheld for taxes. Reporting of indirect ownership through trusts and a GRAT is appropriate for a senior executive and director. The magnitude of retained indirect holdings suggests continued governance alignment; the withheld disposals are administrative and do not signal a governance or control shift.
