Insights

Equity compensation analyst

Routine RSU vesting with tax withholding; no open-market trading signal.

William J. Williford, EVP & COO of W&T Offshore, had 45,000 restricted stock units granted on June 5, 2023 fully vest on June 5, 2026, converting into 45,000 common shares. This was the final tranche of that award, and no RSUs from this grant remain outstanding.

To satisfy tax obligations on the vesting, 17,708 common shares were disposed of at $3.70 per share via a tax-withholding disposition, coded "F". This is a mechanistic transfer to cover taxes rather than a discretionary open-market sale and typically carries limited informational value about the insider’s outlook.

After these transactions, Williford directly holds 405,172 common shares. With no derivative positions listed in the derivative summary, this filing mainly documents compensation delivery and associated tax withholding, a standard pattern for RSU vesting events.

restricted stock units financial

"the reporting person's 45,000 restricted stock units, which were granted on June 5, 2023, vested"

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

tax-withholding disposition financial

"Payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering securities"

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.

derivative exercise/conversion financial

"Exercise or conversion of derivative security"
