The filing shows 16,891 Utz Class A Common Stock shares were withheld. This was to satisfy tax obligations arising from the settlement of a previously reported restricted stock unit award, not a discretionary buy or sell transaction in the market by the director.

Yes. The Form 4 notes 14,829 Utz Class A shares held by a trust for Lissette’s youngest child. Lissette disclaims beneficial ownership of these trust-held shares and states the report should not be viewed as an admission of beneficial ownership.

Was Dylan Lissette’s Utz (UTZ) Form 4 transaction an open-market stock sale?

No. The transaction is classified as a tax-withholding disposition under code F. Shares were withheld to pay taxes from a restricted stock unit settlement, rather than being sold by Dylan Lissette in an open-market or discretionary sale transaction.

What does transaction code F mean in Dylan Lissette’s Utz (UTZ) filing?

Transaction code F indicates shares used to pay an exercise price or tax liability. In this case, Utz Class A shares were withheld to satisfy tax obligations from a restricted stock unit settlement, so it is not recorded as a traditional open-market sale by the director.
