Key Details

• Transaction date & price: Aug 13, 2026 — 7,093 shares at $112.80 each.
• Total value: $800,090.
• Method: Private purchase from John Sullivan; shares were bought by the Anjou Parekh Lifetime Access Trust for which the reporting person’s spouse serves as trustee (see footnote).
• Ownership reporting: Footnote states the trust holds the shares and the reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of trust-held securities except to the extent of any pecuniary interest. The Form 4 does not list a post-transaction “owned following transaction” total for the reporting person outside the trust disclosure.
• Filing: Form filed Aug 17, 2026. Given the Aug 13 trade date, the filing was submitted within the standard two-business-day window.

Context

• This was a straight purchase (code P) via a private transfer rather than an open-market buy. Purchases by insiders are often watched by investors as potentially more informative than routine sales, but the transaction here involves a trust and a related-party private transfer; the filing’s footnotes clarify the trust relationship and the reporting person’s disclaimer of beneficial ownership. No options exercises, awards, or sales were reported in this Form 4.
