ZAWADZKI ALEXI ILLYA 4

What Happened

• Alexi Illya Zawadzki, Vice President of Resource Development at Lithium Americas (LAC), received 16,830 shares as the vesting/settlement of performance share units on February 9, 2026 (award recorded as acquired at $0.00).
• Following the vesting, 9,943 shares were disposed/withheld on February 12, 2026 at $4.54 per share (total value $45,141) to satisfy a tax liability (transaction code F). This was a withholding to cover taxes rather than an open-market sale.

Context

• This was a vesting/settlement of performance share units, not a buy. The subsequent withholding of nearly 10,000 shares was to cover taxes (a routine, administrative step) — not an indication of an open-market sale or directional bet by the insider.
• For retail investors: awards and routine tax-withholdings are common and do not necessarily reflect the insider’s view of the company’s stock price. Late filings can be a compliance issue, so note the filing/amendment dates listed in the report.
