After withholding, the net increase in shares held was 1,526 shares (3,022 acquired − 1,496 surrendered).

Key Details

  • Transaction date: April 15, 2026; Filing date: April 17, 2026.

  • Net new shares retained by the insider: 1,526 shares.
  • Shares owned after the transaction: Not specified in the provided filing.
  • Footnotes: F1 indicates shares were surrendered to pay tax liability. F2–F5 show these awards vest quarterly (6.25% per quarter) from various vesting commencement dates (Jan 15 of 2023–2026) — multiple award vintages were involved.
  • Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative; F = payment of exercise price/tax withholding. This appears to be a standard cashless/withholding settlement, not an open-market sell.

Context
