FAQ

What insider transaction did WORLD KINECT CORP (WKC) report for Jose-Miguel Tejada?

WORLD KINECT CORP reported that EVP and Chief Financial Officer Jose-Miguel Tejada received a grant of 8,772 shares of common stock as a stock award. This was a compensation-related acquisition, not an open-market purchase, and increased his directly held shares to 43,603.

Was the WKC insider transaction by Jose-Miguel Tejada a stock purchase or an equity award?

The transaction was an equity award, not a market purchase. Jose-Miguel Tejada received 8,772 shares at a price of $0.0000 per share, reflecting a grant or award of restricted stock units as part of his compensation rather than a cash-funded stock buy.

How many WORLD KINECT CORP shares does Jose-Miguel Tejada hold after this grant?

Following the grant, Jose-Miguel Tejada directly holds 43,603 shares of WORLD KINECT CORP common stock. This total includes the newly awarded 8,772 restricted stock units that were reported in the transaction and represents his post-transaction direct ownership position.

How do the restricted stock units granted to WKC’s CFO vest over time?

The restricted stock units will vest in three equal installments beginning on March 15, 2027. This means the 8,772-share award is earned gradually over three vesting dates, aligning the CFO’s long-term incentives with the company’s performance and ongoing service.

Does WORLD KINECT CORP receive any cash from this insider equity award to the CFO?

No cash changes hands in this transaction. The shares were granted at a transaction price of $0.0000 per share as a stock-based compensation award, so the company does not receive cash proceeds, and the CFO did not buy shares in the open market.

Is the WKC CFO’s reported transaction a buy or sell signal for investors?

The filing reflects a grant of 8,772 restricted stock units, not a buy or sell trade. It is routine stock-based compensation for the EVP and CFO, with shares vesting over time, rather than an active decision to purchase or sell shares on the open market.
