Explanation of Responses:

As permitted under the Plan, the Company withheld 20 shares of Republic Services, Inc. common stock to satisfy tax liability of the Reporting Person. The fair market value of the exchanged shares was $221.19 (the closing price of Republic Services, Inc.'s common stock on 02/17/2026).

2. The Form 4 filed on 2/13/26 incorrectly stated the Reporting Person's total ownership was 10,386 shares. That number should have been 10,331.

3. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the contingent right to one share of common stock of Republic Services, Inc.

FAQ

What did RSG executive Julia Arambula report in this Form 4 transaction?

Julia Arambula reported the vesting and conversion of 20 restricted stock units into 20 shares of Republic Services common stock and a simultaneous withholding of 20 shares to satisfy tax liabilities, leaving her with 10,331 directly owned common shares.

How many Republic Services (RSG) shares does Julia Arambula own after this filing?

After these transactions, Julia Arambula directly owns 10,331 shares of Republic Services common stock. This figure reflects the 20-share RSU conversion and the 20-share tax withholding, and also corrects a previously overstated ownership number reported in an earlier Form 4.

What was the purpose of the 20-share disposition reported by RSG’s Julia Arambula?

The 20-share disposition was a tax-withholding transaction. Republic Services withheld 20 shares of common stock, valued at $221.19 per share, to satisfy Arambula’s tax liability arising from the vesting and conversion of her restricted stock units under the company’s deferred compensation plan.

How are Julia Arambula’s restricted stock units (RSUs) at Republic Services structured?

Each restricted stock unit represents the contingent right to receive one share of Republic Services common stock. The RSUs reported here were granted on 02/17/2023, with 25% vesting on 02/17/2026, and 392 RSUs, including accrued dividend equivalents, remaining deferred under the company’s deferred compensation plan.

What correction to prior ownership does this RSG Form 4 disclose for Julia Arambula?

The Form 4 states that a filing on 2/13/26 incorrectly listed Arambula’s total ownership as 10,386 shares. The correct figure is 10,331 shares, aligning her reported holdings with the post-transaction balance after the RSU conversion and tax-withholding share disposition.

How was the fair market value of withheld RSG shares determined for Julia Arambula’s taxes?

The fair market value of the 20 withheld shares was set at $221.19 per share, equal to the closing price of Republic Services common stock on 02/17/2026. That price was used to value the shares applied toward Arambula’s tax liability on the RSU vesting.
