Insights

Banking equity compensation analyst

Compensation share grant with partial tax withholding; no open-market trading.

Executive William K. Wray Sr. received 2,240 Common Stock shares as a grant, award, or other acquisition, a standard form of equity compensation that does not involve cash outlay. This increased his direct stake in Washington Trust Bancorp Inc..

To cover tax liabilities, 1,015 shares were used in a tax-withholding disposition at $34.16 per share, which is not an open-market sale and carries limited signaling value.

tax-withholding disposition financial

"transaction_action: "tax-withholding disposition" for 1,015 shares"

A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.
