Cooper's November 2026 RSU Transactions at F5, Inc.

According to the Form 4 filed with the SEC on November 3, 2026, Edward Cooper Werner, serving as Chief Financial Officer of F5, Inc. (NASDAQ:FFIV), reported two distinct events on November 1, 2026. First, 987 shares of common stock were acquired (transaction code M) at $0 as a result of the vesting of service-based Restricted Stock Units from the November 1, 2024, and November 3, 2025, award grants. Immediately following, 1,972 shares were disposed of (transaction code F) at $338.34 per share, a transaction the filing characterizes as a share withholding for tax purposes, leaving Cooper with a direct beneficial ownership of 3,450 shares of common stock.

On November 2, 2026, the filing discloses that F5 awarded Cooper 5,611 new service-based Restricted Stock Units. According to the filing, this award vests in twelve equal quarterly increments beginning February 1, 2027, contingent on Cooper continuing to provide services to the company through each vest date. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of F5, Inc. common stock on the vest date. Following this award, Cooper's direct RSU holdings stand at 5,611 units from the new grant, in addition to 1,812 remaining from the November 1, 2024, award and 4,274 remaining from the November 3, 2025, award.

The filing also notes that concurrent with the service-based RSU grant, F5 granted Cooper additional Performance RSUs. According to the filing's explanation, "the number of which that can be earned will be based on performance targets." At 100% achievement, Cooper could receive 5,611 Performance RSUs over the vesting period, though the actual number may be higher or lower depending on performance results and continued employment. The filing states that Performance RSUs are not reported in Table II and will be reported in Table I only if and when the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines that performance targets have been achieved.
