On May 20 and 21, 2026, Western Digital Corp. Chief of Global Operations Vidyadhara K. Gubbi had restricted stock units and associated dividend equivalent rights vest, resulting in the conversion of 4 and 5 RSU-related units plus 4.4972 and 5.2586 dividend equivalent rights into common stock at no cost, while the company simultaneously withheld 593 and 693 shares, respectively, to satisfy tax obligations, as reflected by Form 4 transaction codes M (option/RSU conversion) and F (tax withholding). These activity patterns are consistent with routine equity compensation vesting, not open-market purchases or discretionary sales, and Gubbi’s post-transaction direct ownership stands at 88,764 shares, valued using the indicated transaction price context. The dividend equivalent rights were paid in stock on a one-for-one basis with the underlying RSUs and any fractional unit was settled in cash, while the tax-withholding disposals, though reported as dispositions, are administrative in nature under Rule 16b-3(e).
