Each RSU represents one Class A share and vests quarterly as to 1/16 of the total award. Different RSU grants begin vesting on March 15 of 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, with continued service to ZipRecruiter required on each vesting date for shares to vest.

What does the tax-withholding transaction in the ZipRecruiter Form 4 mean?

The tax-withholding transaction, coded "F", means shares were relinquished back to ZipRecruiter so it could pay Shimanovsky’s federal and state tax liabilities from RSU vesting. It is an exempt Section 16b-3(e) event and does not reflect a discretionary open-market sale.
