Nexstar (NXST) officer logs RSU vesting and small 261-share tax sale
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
NEXSTAR MEDIA GROUP, INC. officer Gary Weitman reported routine equity compensation activity involving restricted stock units and a related small share sale. On June 14, 2026, 656 time-based restricted stock units converted into 656 shares of common stock at a stated price of $0.0000 per share, reflecting vesting rather than a market purchase. The same day, this RSU vesting came from a larger 2,625-unit award granted on June 14, 2023, which vests in four annual tranches. On June 16, 2026, Weitman sold 261 shares of common stock at an average price of $170.81 per share, with a footnote stating these shares were sold to cover tax withholding obligations from the June 14, 2026 RSU settlement. After these transactions, he directly owns 6,963 shares of Nexstar common stock, while 656 RSUs remain scheduled to vest on June 14, 2027. The pattern reflects compensation-related vesting, a partial tax-related sale, and a continuing equity stake.

Insights
Routine RSU vesting with a small tax-related share sale.
The filing shows time-based RSUs vesting for Nexstar officer Gary Weitman and their conversion into common stock. A four-year RSU grant from June 14, 2023 continues to vest annually, aligning compensation with ongoing service.
The Form 4 also reports an open-market sale of 261 shares at $170.81 per share. Footnote F3 specifies this sale was to cover tax withholding obligations tied to the RSU settlement, indicating a mechanistic liquidity event rather than a discretionary reduction in exposure.
Following the transactions, Weitman directly holds 6,963 shares of common stock and 656 unvested RSUs scheduled to vest on June 14, 2027. This leaves a continuing equity stake and remaining unvested compensation, consistent with standard executive pay structures.
