Coherent Corp. insider Jeffrey B. Place reported a stock withholding transaction tied to the vesting of restricted stock units on July 1, 2026. The Form 4 reports that 2,181 shares of Coherent common stock were withheld by the company at a price of $394.47 per share. The transaction was coded as a tax-withholding disposition, typically reported under transaction code “F,” and had an aggregate value of about $860,339. The filing states that the withheld shares were used to satisfy Place’s tax obligations and “do not constitute an actual sale or other open market transaction.” The withholding occurred in connection with the vesting of a restricted stock unit award originally granted to Place on July 1, 2025. That award covered 19,525 shares. Of those, 6,508 restricted stock units vested on July 1, 2026. After the company withheld 2,181 shares for taxes, the net number of shares effectively retained from that vesting tranche would be 4,327 shares, before considering any other holdings or transactions. The remaining 13,017 restricted stock units from the award are scheduled to vest in eight quarterly installments beginning October 1, 2026, subject to Place’s continued service with Coherent. The filing excerpt does not state Place’s total beneficial ownership after the transaction. The report was signed on July 6, 2026, by Christopher M. Forrester as attorney-in-fact for the reporting person.
