Key Details

  • Transaction date: 2026-02-19; filing date: 2026-02-20 (filed promptly).
  • Conversion: 5,132 RSUs → 5,132 shares (code M) at $0.00.
  • Tax withholding: 2,508 shares withheld (code F) at $27.32/share = $68,519.
  • Net new shares to insider: 2,624.

  • Footnotes: F1 = vesting and one-for-one conversion of RSUs; F2 = withholding to satisfy tax liabilities; F3 = RSUs granted under the Company Stock Incentive Plan vesting in equal one-third increments on the first three anniversaries of grant, generally contingent on continued employment.
  • Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (here: RSU conversion); F = withholding to cover taxes.

Context

  • This was a routine compensation event (RSU vesting) rather than an open-market purchase or a voluntary sale. Withholding shares to cover taxes is common and does not necessarily indicate insider sentiment about the stock.
  • The conversion was recorded at $0.00 because RSUs convert to shares without an exercise price; the withheld shares were used solely to satisfy tax withholding, not sold on the open market by the insider.
