Dudek James 4

What Happened

• James Dudek, Senior Vice President, Corporate Controller and Chief Accounting Officer of ACCO Brands (ACCO), had 19,700 restricted stock units (RSUs) convert to common shares on March 14, 2026 (reported on Form 4 filed Mar 17, 2026). The RSUs converted at no exercise price (code M), resulting in 19,700 shares acquired.
• To satisfy tax withholding, 5,733 of those shares were surrendered (code F) at $3.32 per share, totaling $19,034. That leaves a net of approximately 13,967 shares delivered to Dudek. Based on the $3.32 per-share figure used for withholding, the gross value of the vested shares is roughly $65,404.

Context

• This was a routine RSU vesting and tax-withholding event rather than an open-market purchase or sale. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is a common, non-market-selling method (a “cashless” or share-surrender withholding) and does not necessarily indicate a bullish or bearish view by the insider.
