SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On October 15, 2022, 975,622 shares of Class B restricted stock held by an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) vested. The vested shares had a value of $265,106 based on the closing price of Watsco’s Class B common stock as of that date. This vested value was treated as taxable compensation to our CEO for income tax purposes and was subject to statutory withholding. Upon vesting, we funded $104,319 in statutory withholding, which, in turn, was satisfied by the CEO through a cash payment of $19,700 and by surrendering of 311,408 shares of Watsco Class B common stock. Accordingly, 664,214 shares of Watsco Class B common stock were retained by the affiliate of our CEO, and we retired the surrendered shares. The value of the vested shares will be deducted on our 2022 income tax return and our provision for income taxes will reflect an income tax benefit and related reduction in our effective tax rate. On October 18, 2022, our Board of Directors approved an increase to the quarterly cash dividend per share of Common and Class B common stock to $2.45 per share from $2.20 per share, beginning with the dividend that will be paid in January 2023.
