Rhea-AI Filing Summary

PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. Chief of Owned Retail Jeffery Scott Kerby reported routine equity-compensation activity. On March 15, 2026, 9,186 Restricted Stock Units were exercised, converting into the same number of Class A Common shares at no exercise price. Of these, 2,651 shares were withheld by the company at $0.7061 per share to cover tax obligations rather than sold on the open market. Separately, 51,178 Performance Stock Units granted in 2023 were returned to the issuer because stock price targets for vesting on March 15, 2026 were not achieved, and no Class A shares were issued for those awards. Following these transactions, Kerby directly holds 66,978 Class A Common shares.

F3. On June 20, 2023, the Company granted Performance Stock Units that could vest on March 15, 2026, if PRPL's Class A Common Stock achieved specific target prices per share. No target prices were achieved so no shares of Class A Common Stock were issued for these Performance Stock Units.

FAQ

What insider transactions did PRPL executive Jeffery Scott Kerby report?

Jeffery Scott Kerby reported equity-compensation activity, not open-market trades. He exercised 9,186 Restricted Stock Units into Class A shares and had 2,651 shares withheld for taxes. In addition, 51,178 Performance Stock Units were forfeited back to the issuer when vesting targets were not met.

How many Purple Innovation (PRPL) RSUs did Kerby vest and convert?

Kerby exercised 9,186 Restricted Stock Units into 9,186 shares of Purple Innovation Class A Common Stock. The RSUs convert on a one-for-one basis into shares, reflecting scheduled vesting under his equity compensation plan rather than discretionary purchases on the market.

Why were 2,651 PRPL shares disposed of in Kerby’s Form 4 filing?

The 2,651 Class A Common shares were withheld by Purple Innovation to satisfy tax liabilities tied to Kerby’s RSU vesting. This is coded as a tax-withholding disposition and does not represent an open-market sale or a discretionary reduction of his investment position.

What happened to Jeffery Scott Kerby’s Performance Stock Units at PRPL?

Kerby’s 51,178 Performance Stock Units, granted June 20, 2023, were returned to the issuer. They could have vested on March 15, 2026, but Purple Innovation’s Class A stock did not reach the specified target prices, so no shares were issued for these awards.

How many Purple Innovation shares does Kerby hold after these transactions?

After the March 15, 2026 transactions, Kerby directly holds 66,978 shares of Purple Innovation Class A Common Stock. This figure reflects RSU conversion into shares and the tax-withholding share reduction reported in the Form 4, excluding any derivative awards that were forfeited.

Are Kerby’s PRPL Form 4 transactions open-market buys or sells?

No, Kerby’s reported transactions are compensation-related. They include RSU conversion into Class A shares, shares withheld for tax obligations, and forfeiture of Performance Stock Units. The filing does not show any open-market purchases or sales of Purple Innovation stock by Kerby.
