Insights

Equity compensation analyst

Filing shows routine RSU grant and tax withholding, not open-market trading.

Executive vice president Barry M. Mandinach received 3,093 shares of Virtus common stock as a grant tied to the 2026 Long Term Incentive Plan, while 741 shares were surrendered back to the issuer to cover tax obligations from earlier RSU vesting.

Both transactions are compensation-related: the A code reflects an award, and the F code reflects tax withholding under Rule 16b-3(e), not a market sale. Following these entries, he directly holds 15,815 shares plus unvested RSUs scheduled to vest through 2029, indicating continued equity-based alignment rather than directional trading.

FAQ

What insider transactions did VRTS executive Barry Mandinach report?

Barry M. Mandinach reported two transactions: a grant of 3,093 shares of Virtus common stock and a disposition of 741 shares back to the company. The disposition satisfied tax withholding obligations tied to vesting restricted stock units, rather than reflecting an open-market share sale.

Was the Virtus (VRTS) Form 4 transaction a stock sale by the EVP?

The filing does not show an open-market sale. Instead, 741 shares were surrendered to the issuer under Rule 16b-3(e) to cover tax withholding from RSU vesting, while 3,093 shares were received as a stock grant under the 2026 Long Term Incentive Plan.

How many VRTS shares does Barry Mandinach hold after this Form 4?

After the reported transactions, Barry M. Mandinach directly owns 15,815 shares of Virtus common stock. This total reflects the net effect of the 3,093-share grant and the 741-share tax-withholding disposition disclosed in the Form 4 filing for the same transaction date.

What is the nature of the RSU award reported by Virtus (VRTS)?

The RSU-related award comprises 3,093 shares granted under Virtus’s 2026 Long Term Incentive Plan. According to the filing, these restricted stock units are scheduled to vest ratably over the next three years and will be settled one-for-one in common stock upon each vesting date.

How were tax obligations handled in the VRTS insider transaction?

Tax obligations were satisfied through an exempt disposition of 741 shares to Virtus under Rule 16b-3(e). These shares covered withholding taxes arising from the vesting of previously granted restricted stock units that had been settled in stock to Barry M. Mandinach.

Does the VRTS Form 4 indicate additional unvested RSUs for the executive?

Yes. The footnotes state that the reported holdings include RSUs scheduled to vest on March 15 of 2027, 2028, and 2029. These future vestings arise from prior long-term incentive awards and will be settled in common stock on a one-for-one basis when they vest.
