What Happened
Kristopher D. Lazzaretti, President, Data Solutions at Deluxe (DLX), had restricted stock units (RSUs) vest and convert into 6,623 shares across Feb 14–16, 2026. To satisfy tax withholding obligations, 3,383 of those shares were withheld (disposed) at an indicated per-share value of $26.21, generating roughly $88,668 in tax withholding.

Context
These were vesting/conversion events for RSUs (not open-market purchases). The withholding of shares to cover taxes is a routine, administrative disposition and does not necessarily signal a change in insiders' market view. Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (here, RSU conversion); F = shares withheld/disposed to pay tax obligations.
