AvePoint (AVPT) CEO Jiang Tianyi Sells 2,914 Shares (Tax Withholding)
What Happened
Jiang Tianyi, CEO of AvePoint, had 2,914 shares of AvePoint common stock withheld by the company to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to vested restricted stock units (RSUs). The shares were valued at $10.43 each, for a total of approximately $30,393. This was not an open-market sale by the insider but a company withholding (net settlement) to cover taxes.
Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-03-13; Form 4 filed: 2026-03-17 (appears timely within the two-business-day filing window).
- Transaction: 2,914 shares withheld at $10.43 per share; total reported value $30,393.
- Transaction code: F — payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering or withholding securities (a withholding/net-settlement event).
- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the excerpt; footnote F3 indicates holdings include non-RSU common stock plus aggregate vested and unvested RSUs previously reported.
- Relevant footnotes:
- F1: The shares stem from RSUs granted under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (each RSU converts to one share upon vesting).
- F2: The withheld shares represent the issuer satisfying income tax withholding in connection with net settlement — not a discretionary sale by the CEO.
- F3: Aggregates current holdings with previously reported RSU grants (see prior Form 4s listed in F3 for vesting schedules).
Context
This is a routine tax-withholding/net-settlement transaction tied to RSU vesting, not a market sale signaling a change in the insider’s investment stance. For retail investors, purchases or open-market sales by insiders are typically more informative about sentiment; withholding events are standard administrative actions to meet tax obligations.
