[Form 4] Toast, Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Avantor, Inc. (AVTR) filed a Form 4 disclosing that its SVP & Chief Accounting Officer, Steven W. Eck, had 1,385 common shares withheld on 31 Jul 2025 to cover federal tax obligations triggered by the vesting of restricted stock units (transaction code “F”). The shares were valued at $13.44 each. Following the withholding, Eck’s direct ownership stands at 58,544 shares. No open-market purchase or sale occurred and no derivative positions were reported. Because the shares were not voluntarily sold and merely settled for taxes, the filing is generally viewed as administrative and neutral from an investment-signal perspective.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Routine tax-related withholding; no directional signal.

The “F” code confirms the shares were surrendered solely for payroll tax obligations tied to RSU vesting. Eck retains roughly 58.5k shares, indicating continued exposure to AVTR’s equity. Given the modest size versus Avantor’s float and lack of open-market activity, the disclosure does not materially alter insider sentiment or valuation assumptions.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Standard Section 16 compliance; governance impact negligible.

The company promptly filed within the two-business-day window, reflecting sound compliance. The withholding aligns with common practice under Rule 10b5-1 and does not suggest strategic disposition. No red flags regarding control or potential conflicts arise.
