The RSUs were recorded at $0.00 per share on the Form 4 (award grants are typically recorded with no exercise price).
  • On the same date, 1,931 shares were surrendered/withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations at $11.83 per share, generating proceeds of $22,844 (reported as a disposal for tax purposes). This is a grant/award transaction rather than an open-market purchase or sale.

Key Details

  • Transaction date: 2026-02-26 (Form filed 2026-02-27).
  • Grant: 42,253 RSUs (recorded at $0.00 on Form 4).
  • Tax withholding: 1,931 shares disposed at $11.83 each = $22,844.
  • Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in this filing.

  • Timeliness: No late filing is indicated (filed the next day).

Context

  • RSUs are equity awards that convert to shares when they vest; they are not an immediate cash purchase and do not necessarily signal a buy/sell intent. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is a routine administrative step and common in equity compensation settlements.
