ICON plc CEO Barry Edward Balfe had 728 RSUs vest into ordinary shares, sold 382 shares to cover taxes, and received new grants of 22,258 RSUs and 32,635 stock options in ICON plc (ICLR).

On this Form 4, ICON plc CEO Barry Edward Balfe reported routine equity compensation activity and related tax sales. On August 7, 2026, 728 restricted share units (RSUs) granted in 2023 vested and were converted into 728 ordinary shares, increasing his direct holdings to 5,186 shares, while an equivalent 728 RSUs were correspondingly reduced. To cover tax withholding on this vesting, he executed automatic “sell to cover” sales on August 10, 2026, disposing of 304 ordinary shares at $163.80 per share and 78 ordinary shares at $165.14 per share, for total proceeds of roughly $62,700, leaving 4,804 ordinary shares held directly. Also on August 10, 2026, Balfe received a new award of 22,258 RSUs and a grant of 32,635 stock options with a $166.05 exercise price, each award vesting in future installments between 2027 and 2030; these large grants materially increase his long-term equity-based compensation and alignment but are standard incentive awards rather than open-market purchases.
