Key Details

• Transaction date: April 16, 2026; Price: $29.13 per share; Shares acquired: 102.999; Total value: ~$3,000.
• Amendment: Original Form 4 (filed Apr 16, 2026) was amended to change the code from "P" to "A" (Footnote F1).
• Exemption: Transaction was exempt under Rule 16b-3(d) and 16b-3(c) as noted in the filing (ESPP acquisition).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the summary provided here; the filing notes that the amount shown on the form (as of the amendment filing) includes shares held via the company’s Dividend Reinvestment Program (DRIP) (Footnote F2).
• No indication in the amendment that this was a sale or a derivative exercise; it is an acquisition under an employee plan.

Context
This is a routine acquisition through an employee benefit plan (ESPP), which companies commonly use to allow employees to buy stock, and is generally treated by investors as an insider purchase (a potentially positive signal). The amendment only corrects the transaction classification and does not change the underlying economic details of the acquisition.
