FAQ

What insider transactions did PGC EVP Stuart Vorcheimer report?

Stuart Vorcheimer reported exercises and grants of equity awards. He exercised multiple restricted stock unit and phantom stock awards into common stock, received new restricted stock unit grants, and had shares withheld to satisfy tax obligations related to these compensation-related vestings.

Did the PGC Form 4 show any open-market buying or selling by the EVP?

No open-market purchases or sales were reported. All activity involved exercising previously granted equity awards, receiving new restricted stock unit grants, and share withholdings for taxes. The filing shows compensation-related movements rather than discretionary market trades.

How many shares were exercised and withheld for taxes in the PGC Form 4?

The filing shows 10,190 shares exercised from derivatives and 2,155 shares withheld for taxes. Exercises came from restricted stock units and phantom stock, while tax withholdings were common shares delivered at $33.18 per share to cover related obligations.

What are Stuart Vorcheimer’s PGC common stock holdings after these transactions?

After the reported transactions, he directly holds 10,875 common shares. He also has indirect ownership of 1,168.0098 common shares through an employee stock purchase plan, plus remaining restricted stock unit and phantom stock awards tied to additional underlying common shares.

What new restricted stock unit grants did PGC award to its EVP?

He received 7,016 time-based and 2,339 performance-based restricted stock units. The 7,016 units vest in three equal annual installments starting March 20, 2027, while the 2,339 units vest on the third anniversary if specified performance conditions are achieved.

How do the phantom stock awards in the PGC filing work?

Phantom stock awards are economically equivalent to common shares upon vesting. Earlier phantom stock grants vest over multi-year schedules, and each vested phantom share delivers the economic value of one PGC common share, contributing to Vorcheimer’s overall equity-based compensation.
