Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Perdoceo Education senior vice president Elise Baskel reported equity compensation activity involving company common stock. On March 14, 2026, performance-based restricted stock units granted on March 7, 2023 vested at 200% of the 16,838-share target, reflecting achievement of specified performance criteria.

Insights

Routine equity vesting with tax withholding; no open-market trades.

The activity reflects standard equity compensation mechanics at Perdoceo Education. Elise Baskel’s performance-based RSUs vested at 200% of the 16,838-share target grant, indicating that the company’s performance metrics for this award were fully met under the plan’s terms.

The five F-code transactions totaling 21,334 shares at $35.78 per share are shares withheld or surrendered to cover tax obligations, not discretionary market sales. Baskel’s direct holdings after these entries are 66,452 common shares, including 55,982 unvested RSUs, so the reported dispositions are small relative to her total equity exposure.
