Key Details
- Transaction date: March 13, 2026; Form 4 filed March 17, 2026 (timely).
- Award: 3,504 shares @ $0.00 (total reported $0) — PSUs granted originally Jan 18, 2023.
- Withholding/tax disposition: 1,379 shares @ $44.22 = $60,979 (code F).
- Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided excerpt of the filing.
- Footnote: The PSUs vested based on three-year relative performance vs. select peers. The compensation committee initially certified 80% of earned shares in Jan 2026 due to incomplete peer audits; by March 13, 2026 all peers had reported and the final earned share count is reflected here.
- Filing timeliness: Filed promptly (no late filing noted).
Context
- These transactions reflect PSU vesting and routine tax withholding rather than an open-market buy or sale for investment reasons. The award is a compensation grant (no cash paid to acquire the shares), and the disposition was to cover tax liability — a common, administrative step that doesn't necessarily indicate the insider's view on the stock.
