On 2026-02-27, 58,184 shares were withheld to satisfy tax liabilities upon the vesting of performance share units (58,184 shares @ $80.50 = $4,683,812).

Context

• The 58,184‑share disposition was a tax‑withholding event tied to the vesting of performance share units (F = tax withholding), a routine administrative action rather than an active sell decision. The separate sale of 72,449 shares was an open‑market sale (S = sale), which is a disposition of stock and may reflect liquidity or tax planning but does not by itself signal management’s view of the company. No options were exercised in these entries; the withholding arose from vested PSUs.
