- Transaction date: February 15, 2026; Form 4 filed February 18, 2026 (filed within the standard 2-business-day window).
- Exercise/conversion (Form 4 code M): total acquired = 166,296 shares (from multiple unit grants).
- Tax withholding / share surrender (codes F and D): total disposed = 90,173 shares at $52.55 per share, total value ≈ $4,738,592.

Context
- These entries reflect exercising vested equity units and using a portion of the resulting shares to satisfy tax withholding (a net settlement/cashless-like routine), not an open-market sell decision. In Form 4 jargon: M = exercise/conversion of derivative units; F = share disposition to cover tax liability; D = disposition to issuer.
- Routine tax-withholding transactions are common for executives when restricted stock/units vest and do not necessarily indicate a change in the insider's view of the company.
