Begley Jody L 4

What Happened

• Jody L. Begley, Executive Vice President and COO of Altria Group, received 17,166 shares on February 26, 2026 upon vesting of performance stock units (PSUs). The award is reported as an acquisition (code A) with $0 per-share purchase price (an award).
• On the same date, 17,439 shares were disposed (code F) to satisfy tax withholding obligations at a per-share price of $69.70, totaling $1,215,498. The filing shows the withholding was used to cover taxes tied to the vesting of PSUs and restricted stock units (RSUs).

Context

• This was a standard equity award vesting and tax-withholding transaction, not an open-market purchase or a discretionary sale. The acquisition reflects compensation (PSU vesting); the disposal represents shares withheld to satisfy tax obligations (a common practice).
• Code guidance: A = award/acquisition; F = tax withholding/settlement. Such withholding transactions typically do not by themselves indicate an insider’s buy/sell sentiment.
