Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-07; Form filed (amended) on 2026-03-26 (late filing).
• Price per share: $27.25; Shares withheld/disposed (corrected): 3,852; reported earlier (incorrect): 3,989.
• Reported proceeds (original report): ~$108,700; corrected proceeds: ~$104,967.
• Footnotes: F1 corrects the share count to 3,852; F2 notes the reported balance was increased by 137 shares (the difference between 3,989 and 3,852) to correct ownership.
• Transaction code F = payment of exercise price or tax liability (share withholding), not an open-market sale.

Context
This was a tax-withholding disposition tied to an option exercise (a routine administrative step), not necessarily a discretionary sale indicating sentiment. The Form 4 was amended to correct the share count and was filed late relative to the typical two-business-day reporting window.
