Republic Services reported that EVP and Chief Legal Officer Catharine D. Ellingsen had 1,282 Restricted Stock Units vest and convert into common shares. The award, originally granted on 02/11/2022, vested on its fourth anniversary and was settled in company stock at no exercise cost.

How many Republic Services (RSG) shares were withheld for taxes in this Form 4?

A total of 564 Republic Services common shares were withheld to satisfy Ellingsen’s tax liability from the RSU vesting. The withholding used a fair market value of $225.97 per share, equal to the closing stock price on 02/11/2026, rather than an open-market sale.

What was the value used for Republic Services (RSG) shares withheld for taxes?

The shares withheld for taxes were valued at $225.97 per share, the closing price of Republic Services common stock on 02/11/2026. This price was applied to 564 shares delivered to cover Ellingsen’s tax obligations arising from the RSU vesting event.

How many Republic Services (RSG) shares does Catharine D. Ellingsen own after the reported transactions?

Following the RSU vesting and tax share withholding, Ellingsen directly owns 46,996 Republic Services common shares. This balance reflects 1,282 shares received from the RSU conversion, offset by 564 shares delivered back to the company to satisfy related tax obligations.

What do the vested Restricted Stock Units mean for Republic Services (RSG) executive compensation?

The vesting of 1,282 RSUs shows part of Ellingsen’s long-term incentive compensation converting into actual Republic Services shares. Each unit represented a contingent right to one share, vesting 25% annually over four years from 02/11/2022, aligning pay with long-term shareholder value.

Was the Republic Services (RSG) insider transaction an open-market stock sale?

No, the Form 4 indicates the disposition of 564 shares was for tax withholding, not an open-market sale. Code “F” shows shares were delivered to cover taxes due on an RSU vesting, a common administrative step in equity compensation, rather than a discretionary share sale.
