• Transaction code: F — payment of exercise price or tax liability (shares withheld to cover taxes/exercise).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing. Holding balances were adjusted for a 5% stock dividend (F1: record date 12/2/2025, payable 12/16/2025).

Context

• A code F withholding is typically a routine settlement to cover taxes or exercise costs following an equity award or option exercise; it is not the same as an open-market sale and therefore doesn't necessarily signal insider sentiment. Purchases or open-market sales are generally more informative about an insider's market view.
