AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Waste Management (WM)

Waste Management grants $2.1 million retention award to Chief Sustainability Officer

Neutral Impact 2 of 5 leadership Written later

Waste Management approved a one-time retention award of restricted stock units valued at $2,100,000 for Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer Tara J. Hemmer, to be granted September 2, 2025. The units vest 50% on the second anniversary and 50% on the third anniversary of the grant, which ties Ms. Hemmer's compensation to continued service and to the share price.

Key points

  • Award value: $2,100,000 in restricted stock units to Tara J. Hemmer, granted September 2, 2025
  • Share count set by dividing the award value by the average of the high and low price over the 30 trading days before grant
  • Vesting: 50% on the second anniversary and 50% on the third anniversary of grant; dividends accrue and are paid in cash on payout
  • Unvested units are forfeited on resignation or termination for cause
