  • Post-transaction holdings: filing references an aggregate RSU/share figure (footnote F4) but does not state an exact total share count held after these transactions.
  • Footnotes of note:
    • F1: Each RSU = contingent right to one share of UEI common stock.
    • F2: The open-market sales were sell-to-cover transactions to cover taxes/fees and are not discretionary sales by the reporting person.
    • F3/F5: Grants underlying these vestings — 24,000 RSUs granted Feb 7, 2024 (multi-year vesting) and 14,135 RSUs granted Feb 9, 2023 (multi-year vesting).
  • Filing timeliness: Form filed Feb 13, 2026 reporting activity Feb 7–9, 2026; the filing does not indicate a late-filing flag.

Context
These transactions reflect RSU vesting and routine tax-related actions (net share withholding and sell-to-cover sales). For retail investors, such sell-to-cover sales are common and generally do not by themselves indicate a change in insider sentiment; purchases are typically more informative about bullish insider convictions. The derivative entries here represent RSU settlement (conversion to shares) and tax withholding rather than option exercises for cash.
