Cross Brandon L 4

What Happened
Brandon L. Cross, Vice President and Corporate Controller of Roper Technologies (ROP), was granted multiple equity awards and had 110 shares withheld to cover tax obligations. On 2026-03-10 the filing reports: 230 shares, 972 shares, and 3,626 shares (the latter recorded as a derivative — performance stock units) were acquired as awards; separately 110 shares were disposed/withheld at $353.87 per share for a value of $38,926. The awards were recorded at $0 in the transaction because they were grants, not purchases.

Key Details

• Transaction date: March 10, 2026; Form 4 filed March 12, 2026 (appears timely).
• Disposed/withheld: 110 shares at $353.87 each = $38,926 (transaction code F: payment of exercise price or tax liability).
• Awards granted: 230 shares (A), 972 shares (A), and 3,626 shares (A, derivative — performance stock units). Reported acquisition price $0 for awards.
• Footnote: The PSU award relates to a March 12, 2024 award where the Compensation Committee later determined performance criteria were achieved, triggering this filing.
• Footnote: Options (if applicable) vest 50% on 3/10/28 and 50% on 3/10/29.
• Shares owned after the transactions were not disclosed in the summary provided.

Context

• The 110-share disposal was used to satisfy tax withholding (common with equity vesting), not an open-market sale signaling a directional bet.
• The 3,626-share derivative award appears to be performance stock units that vested once performance criteria were met; such awards are recorded differently than purchases or open-market sales.
• No evidence in this filing of a 10% owner or a 10b5-1 plan.
