Key Details

  • Transaction date: 2026-03-02; Filing date: 2026-03-03 (timely filing).
  • Amount and price: 6,284 shares at $11.50 per share; total value $72,266.
  • Transaction code: F — payment of exercise price or tax liability (shares withheld to cover taxes).
  • Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the Form 4 filing.

Context
Code F dispositions are typically routine tax-withholding actions tied to vesting of restricted stock or option exercises; they don’t necessarily indicate the insider is selling shares to realize gains or change market exposure. For retail investors, outright purchases or open-market sales tend to carry clearer signals than tax-related withholdings.
