[Form 4] PROGRESS SOFTWARE CORP /MA Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

John Ainsworth, EVP/GM, Application & Data Platform at Progress Software Corporation (PRGS), reported Section 16 transactions dated 10/01/2025. Several restricted stock unit installments vested and were converted into common stock on a one‑for‑one basis, resulting in multiple zero‑price stock issuances (codes M) of 1,167, 1,167 and 1,709 shares. To satisfy tax withholding on those vesting events, the company withheld and disposed of 518, 518 and 758 shares, each at a reported price of $44.21 (codes F). The reported total common stock beneficially owned following the reported transactions is shown as 50,983 shares. The filing explains the RSUs were granted in January 2023, January 2024 and January 2025 and vest in six equal semiannual installments beginning on specified October 1 start dates.

Insights

Corporate Compensation Analyst

Officer RSUs vested; shares withheld to cover taxes at $44.21.

The report shows scheduled vesting of long‑term incentive restricted stock units granted in Jan 2023, Jan 2024 and Jan 2025, converting into common stock on a one‑for‑one basis on 10/01/2025. That increased the reporting person's direct share holdings while the company withheld specific shares to satisfy tax obligations.

This is a routine compensation settlement rather than an active open‑market sale: the withheld shares were surrendered to the company at the disclosed withholding price of $44.21, and the filings list the resulting beneficial ownership as 50,983 shares.
