Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Travere Therapeutics’ CFO Christopher R. Cline reported a mix of equity awards, vesting and share sales. On May 4, 2026, he exercised performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs) covering 4,250 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.00 per share, following the vesting of 50% of PSUs originally granted on January 31, 2024. Those PSUs vested after the company confirmed that a performance criterion tied to cumulative FILSPARI net revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 had been achieved. The same grant allows up to 50% additional shares to vest on an accelerated timeline and provides that a further 25% will vest on January 31, 2027, contingent on continued service.

Also on May 4, 2026, he received a new grant of 8,500 PSUs, each representing a contingent right to one share of common stock at target, subject to performance adjustments. On May 5 and May 6, 2026, he sold a total of 2,491 shares of common stock at prices of $46.65 and $43.95 per share. According to the footnotes, these sales were executed under a written Rule 10b5-1(c) trading plan adopted on May 28, 2025 and include shares sold to cover tax withholding obligations arising from PSU vesting. After these transactions, he directly owned 118,658 shares of Travere Therapeutics common stock.

  1. On January 31, 2024, the Reporting Person was granted performance restricted stock units (PSUs) covering 8,500 shares of the Issuer's common stock, to vest upon the satisfaction of certain performance criteria. If any such milestone is achieved on a pre-specified accelerated timeline, up to 50% additional shares attributable to such milestone achievement could vest under these PSU grants, with such additional potential shares to vest at a later date in furtherance of retention objectives. On May 4, 2026, 50% of the PSUs vested upon the Issuer's confirmation following the release of its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that a performance criterion related to cumulative FILSPARI net revenue had been achieved, and contingent on continuous service by the Reporting Person, on January 31, 2027 an additional 25% of such PSUs will vest due to the timing of the achievement of such cumulative FILSPARI net revenue performance criterion. Represents the number of shares required to be sold by the Reporting Person to cover the tax withholding obligation in connection with the settlement of vested performance restricted stock units. This sale is mandated by the Issuer's election under its equity incentive plans to require the Reporting Person to fund this tax withholding obligation by completing a "sell to cover" transaction with a brokerage firm designated by the Issuer. This sale does not represent a discretionary trade by the Reporting Person. This sale was made pursuant to a written plan adopted on May 28, 2025, meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and includes the sale of shares to cover the tax obligation that occurred upon the vesting of performance restricted stock units. Each PSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock at target, subject to adjustment based on the achievement of applicable performance conditions.

performance restricted stock units financial
"On January 31, 2024, the Reporting Person was granted performance restricted stock units (PSUs) covering 8,500 shares"
Performance restricted stock units (PRSUs) are promises to deliver company shares to employees or executives only if the business meets specific performance targets and any time-based holding rules. Think of them as a bonus that converts into stock only after set goals are reached, so investors watch PRSUs for two reasons: they can dilute existing shares if paid out, and they signal how closely management’s pay is tied to company performance.
FILSPARI other
"a performance criterion related to cumulative FILSPARI net revenue had been achieved"
Rule 10b5-1(c) regulatory
"a written plan adopted on May 28, 2025, meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934"
Rule 10b5-1(c) is an SEC guideline that lets company insiders set up a written, pre-planned schedule to buy or sell their company stock when they are not in possession of material, nonpublic information. For investors, it matters because such plans can reduce the appearance of insider trading by separating decisions from inside knowledge—like putting your trades on autopilot—while also requiring scrutiny since pre-planned trades can still affect market confidence and share value.
sell to cover financial
"require the Reporting Person to fund this tax withholding obligation by completing a "sell to cover" transaction"
Sell to cover is when a person who receives company stock through options or awards sells just enough shares immediately to pay required taxes, exercise costs, or fees, keeping the rest. Think of it like cashing part of a bonus to cover the tax bill so you can keep the remainder. For investors, it can create predictable small selling pressure and slightly change the number of shares actually held by insiders without increasing long‑term dilution.
