John S. Anderson, Senior Vice President & CFO von Knowles Corp (KN), meldete am 13.08.2025 die Aus眉bung von Aktienoptionen und die Einbehaltung von Aktien. Er 眉bte eine nicht qualifizierte Aktienoption aus, die ihm Anspruch auf 42.017 Aktien zu einem Aus眉bungspreis von $16,77 pro Aktie verschaffte, womit 42.017 zugrunde liegende Stammaktien entstanden. Nach den Transaktionen wird sein wirtschaftliches Eigentum mit 284.424 Aktien angegeben.
Zugleich wurden 37.125 Aktien einbehalten, um den Aus眉bungspreis und die damit verbundenen Steuerverpflichtungen in H枚he von $21,01 je Aktie zu decken, wodurch seine tats盲chlich erhaltenden Nettoneuaktien reduziert wurden. Das Formular 4 wurde am 14.08.2025 mittels Vollmacht eingereicht. Die Einreichung ist eine routinem盲脽ige Offenlegung nach Abschnitt 16 眉ber die Aus眉bung von Insider-Optionen und Steuerabz眉ge.
- Insider exercised options, increasing beneficial ownership to 284,424 shares
- Exercise at $16.77 indicates utilization of existing compensation awards rather than open-market selling
- Form filed promptly (reported transaction 08/13/2025; filing 08/14/2025) demonstrating regulatory compliance
- 37,125 shares withheld to cover exercise price and taxes, reducing the net shares received by the reporting person
- No open-market purchase was reported, so this does not reflect incremental outside-market buying interest
Insights
TL;DR: Transaction is a routine option exercise by the CFO that modestly increases reported ownership; no new cash-market purchase disclosed.
This Form 4 documents a non-qualified stock option exercise (Code M) producing 42,017 shares at a $16.77 exercise price and a contemporaneous withholding disposition of 37,125 shares at $21.01 to satisfy tax and payment obligations. The net effect increases reported beneficial ownership to 284,424 shares. There is no sale for cash in the open market disclosed, and the withholding is administrative, not a signal of divestiture. Impact on investors is limited and transactional rather than operational.
TL;DR: Routine insider reporting that reflects standard post-exercise withholding; governance implications are minimal.
The filing was made under a power-of-attorney and identifies the reporting person as an officer (CFO). The use of share withholding to satisfy exercise and tax obligations is common and consistent with company equity plan mechanics. No change in role or governance disclosures are present. This is a compliance disclosure with low materiality for corporate control or governance structure.
