Stillwell Mary-Lee

Stillwell Mary-Lee, SVP and Controller at Verizon Communications (VZ), has filed 77 Form 4 transactions, all concentrated in a single company. The pattern is overwhelmingly one-sided: she has recorded zero open-market purchases and $428,450 in open-market sales, with the only such sale occurring on March 2, 2026. That transaction dwarfs the routine activity surrounding it, which consists almost entirely of small recurring equity grants (code "A") valued at roughly $584 each, arriving on a biweekly schedule—compensation mechanics rather than discretionary trading. The March 2 sale took place immediately after a cluster of option exercises and tax-withholding events on February 27, 2026. On that date, Stillwell exercised three tranches of options (code "M," valued at $0 in the filings) while simultaneously having shares withheld to cover taxes (code "F") totaling $606,343.02 across three separate entries. The subsequent $428,450 open-market sale appears to be the monetization of those exercised options, a common sequence for executives converting vested awards into cash. Her total acquired value across all filings is $122,308.87, but nearly all of that stems from compensation grants and exercises, not purchases made with personal capital. Since the March sale, Stillwell's activity has reverted to the passive rhythm of biweekly restricted stock grants, with no further open-market transactions of any kind. The data suggests a compensation-driven pattern: regular accumulation through employer awards, periodic option exercises, and a single large disposition. There is no evidence of a sustained buying or selling bias—just one notable sale that aligns with the vesting and exercise cycle typical of a senior corporate officer.
