Western Digital Corp. (WDC) � Form 4 Insider-Transaktion eingereicht für Chief Sales & Marketing Officer Brian Scott Davis, betreffend Aktivitäten vom 18. bis 20. Juni 2025.

  • Aktienfreigabe: 179,9668 Dividendenäquivalente Rechte (DERs) wurden am 18. Juni 2025 in Stammaktien umgewandelt; weitere 3,2691 DERs wurden am 20. Juni 2025 ausgeübt, beide zu einem angegebenen Preis von 0,00 $, was eine routinemäßige RSU-Vesting widerspiegelt.

  • Art der Transaktionen: Alle Bewegungen erfolgten außerhalb des offenen Marktes und stammen aus bereits bestehenden Aktienzuteilungen; es gab keine diskretionären Käufe oder Verkäufe.

Insgesamt signalisiert die Meldung eine routinemäßige Abwicklung von Aktienzuteilungen und keine richtungsweisende Bewertungsaussage des Insiders.

Positive
  • Increase in equity stake through conversion of 179.9668 dividend-equivalent rights and additional 3.2691 DERs into common shares at no cost, indicating continued vesting of long-term incentives.
Negative
  • Reduction of 669 shares (â‰�$40k) sold to satisfy tax withholding, leading to a modest (<0.5%) decline in direct ownership.

Insights

TL;DR: Routine RSU vesting; net sale of 669 shares for taxes—immaterial signal.

The Form 4 shows standard award mechanics. Davis gained 183.236 shares via dividend-equivalent conversions and forfeited 669 shares worth �$40k for tax obligations. Net direct holdings fell by < 0.5% to 138,757 shares, preserving meaningful alignment with shareholders. No open-market disposition or discretionary purchase occurred, so the market-signal value is negligible.

TL;DR: Compliance-driven transactions; insider ownership remains substantial.

The filing illustrates Western Digital’s standard compliance with Rule 16b-3(c) and proper disclosure of DER mechanics. Use of Code F confirms withholding for taxes, mitigating dilution. Continued sizable ownership supports incentive alignment, and absence of 10b5-1 plan usage means future discretionary trades will require fresh disclosure. Governance risk is unchanged.

A cash amount was also paid to the holder to settle a fractional dividend equivalent right.
2. Payment of tax obligation by withholding securities incident to the vesting of securities in accordance with Rule 16b-3(e).
3. The dividend equivalent rights accrued on previously awarded restricted stock units (RSUs) which vest proportionately with the RSUs to which they relate. Each dividend equivalent right represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock or the cash value thereof.
