Key Details
- Transaction date: April 15, 2026; Form 4 filed April 17, 2026 (timely filing).
- Exercise/conversion: 3,022 derivative shares acquired at $0.00 exercise price.
- Shares surrendered for tax withholding (code F): 1,496 shares at $244.66 each; total withholding ≈ $366,012.
- Footnote F1: Shares were surrendered to pay tax liability due at vesting (i.e., automatic withholding).
- Footnote F2: All shares are held by the 2006 Wadhwani Family Trust (reporting person is trustee), except 92 shares held by Wadhwani 2020 Family GST Trusts for his children.
- Vesting schedules referenced: F3–F6 indicate these awards vest quarterly at 6.25% from various commencement dates (Jan 15 of 2023–2026), reflecting scheduled vesting tranches.
- Shares owned after transaction: not reported as a numeric total on the Form 4; holdings are shown as held in the family trusts per F2.
Context
- This was a standard vesting/conversion event (derivative exercise/conversion) with a portion of shares surrendered to cover taxes — effectively a cashless withholding; such withholdings are routine and do not necessarily indicate a discretionary sale by the insider.
- No 10b5-1 plan or gift noted; the activity appears related to scheduled vesting and tax obligations rather than an open-market sale.
