Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-03-09. Transaction codes: M (exercise/conversion of derivative) and F (payment of tax liability via share withholding).
- Exercise price paid: $71,648 (1,000 SARs at ~$71.65 each as reported).
- Shares issued to insider: 383 shares (≈ $131,518 at $343.39/share).
- Shares withheld for taxes: 617 shares (≈ $211,872).
- Gross FMV of the 1,000 SARs: $343,390; implied intrinsic value (FMV − exercise price) ≈ $271,742.
- Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the provided excerpt of the Form 4.
- Relevant footnotes: F2 explains that 1,000 SARs were exercised but only 383 shares were issued because 617 shares were withheld to satisfy tax withholding; F5/F6 identify the awards as SARs under the 2014 LTIP with multi‑year vesting.
Context
- This was effectively a cashless exercise: SARs were exercised and a portion of the shares were withheld to cover taxes rather than selling shares on the open market.
- The filing shows an exercise of derivative awards, not an open‑market sale or purchase of existing shares; such exercises are common for employees realizing vested compensation and do not by themselves indicate a change in insider sentiment.
