Vanessa Peterson Williams, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, has filed 44 Form 4 transactions across two companies, with a pattern that skews heavily toward compensation mechanics rather than discretionary trading. Her only open-market sale was a single disposition of KELYA stock on May 14, 2026, valued at $293,302.47. She has recorded zero open-market purchases, meaning her total buy value is $0 against total sell value of $293,302.47. However, her total acquired value of $626,977.80 is dominated by equity grants and awards—not cash purchases—including a $304,495.52 award in KELYA on February 10, 2026, and smaller annual grants in HBNC worth $44,987.80 (February 27, 2026) and $39,989.95 (March 5, 2025).
The recent transaction flow is almost entirely mechanical. In the first quarter of 2026, Williams filed a series of "F" transactions in KELYA—shares withheld to cover tax obligations—ranging from roughly $3,300 to $19,500, clustered around February 10–15 and March 21. Similar tax-withholding events occurred in early 2025. These are automatic, not discretionary, and reflect vesting of prior equity awards. The one "G" transaction in HBNC on October 30, 2025, was a gift with no cash value. The only true market signal in the entire dataset is the May 2026 KELYA sale, which represents her sole open-market disposition and her only recent sell.
The absence of any "P" purchases across 44 filings indicates no conviction buying in either KELYA or HBNC. The single large sale, combined with a steady stream of tax-motivated withholdings and compensation-driven acquisitions, suggests a portfolio managed through corporate equity programs rather than active trading. The May 2026 sale is notable for its size—nearly matching her entire annual grant value—but it stands alone in an otherwise routine filing history dominated by automatic events.
