The 11,220 shares were disposed of to cover tax withholding obligations. They were withheld at $109.29 per share in connection with the settlement of the performance-based RSU awards, rather than being sold as a discretionary open-market transaction.

The performance-based RSUs are equity awards that convert into shares if performance conditions are met. In this case, RSUs granted in 2023 settled into 28,337 UAL shares, representing part of the CFO’s incentive compensation aligned with company performance.

How are the indirectly held UAL shares attributed to the CFO?

The Form 4 notes 1,500 shares held in an account owned by the CFO’s mother. Because he holds a power of attorney over that account, those shares are reported as indirectly owned by him for beneficial ownership reporting purposes.
