Insights

Equity Compensation Analyst

Routine tax withholding on vested performance units, no directional insider bet.

This event reflects automatic tax withholding tied to equity compensation, not an open-market sale. The company withheld 1,847 shares when 4,163 stock success units vested after performance certification, a standard mechanism to satisfy payroll tax obligations on equity awards.

Because the transaction code is F and described as a tax-withholding disposition, it does not signal a discretionary change in sentiment by the executive. Following the transaction, Christopher Pyne still holds 48,187 shares and units, so the overall equity exposure to Unum remains substantial.
