East James J.

East James J., Executive Vice President of H.B. Fuller (FUL), has filed 41 Form 4 transactions with the SEC, all in a single company. The overwhelming majority of these are mechanical or compensatory in nature: option exercises (code M), restricted stock grants (code A), and shares withheld to cover tax obligations (code F). Across all filings, the total value of shares acquired through exercises and awards reached approximately $3.17 million, while open-market sales totaled just $3,182 and open-market purchases a mere $1,817. The most recent activity, clustered in late January 2026, follows this pattern. On January 26, East received a grant valued at roughly $1.25 million, alongside a smaller award of about $4,085 two days earlier. These were paired with option exercises totaling roughly $244,000 and tax-withholding dispositions (code F) of about $66,000 across the three-day span. Notably, the only open-market purchase (code P) in the entire dataset occurred on September 26, 2025, at a value of $1,817.22—a token amount dwarfed by the compensation-driven flows. The data reveals no meaningful directional bias in discretionary trading. East has not executed a single open-market sale in the recent window, and the lone purchase is negligible in size. The transaction stream is dominated by scheduled equity compensation events: annual grants, option exercises, and automatic share withholdings. For investors tracking insider conviction, the filings offer little signal—East’s activity is consistent with a senior executive receiving and managing equity compensation, not someone actively positioning a personal portfolio in FUL shares.
