GENERAL DYNAMICS CORP 4

General Dynamics President Danny Deep exercised vested stock options into common stock and disposed of a portion of the shares to cover taxes, resulting in an increase to roughly 48.2K directly held shares.

On August 14, 2026, General Dynamics President Danny Deep exercised two tranches of stock options (8,530 shares at a $167.61 strike and 25,070 shares at a $165.47 strike) and concurrently disposed of a portion of the resulting common shares to cover tax obligations. The option exercises resulted in 8,530 and 25,070 new common shares issued at the respective exercise prices, while same‑day withholding/forced sales of 5,833 shares at $395.05 and 17,070 shares at $395.065 were reported as dispositions under code F, reflecting shares surrendered for taxes rather than open‑market sales. After these transactions, Deep’s direct ownership increased to 46,077.58 shares following the first exercise/withholding pair and then to 65,314.58 shares after the second, before settling at 48,244.58 shares once all tax‑related share dispositions were reflected; the reported sequence and values indicate these were routine equity compensation events aligned with previously vested stock options. Based on the issuer’s recent trading price near $398, Deep’s post‑transaction holdings are worth approximately $19.2 million.
