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.

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