Key Details
- Transaction date: March 1, 2026; Form 4 filed March 3, 2026.
- Sale for tax withholding: 35,247 shares disposed at $31.60 each = $1,113,805 (code F = payment of tax liability).
- Derivative/award activity: filings list conversion/exercise entries and an award totaling RSU-related shares (items reported as codes M and A) resulting in shares being acquired/issued (aggregate reported award/conversion amounts in the filing).
- Footnotes:
- F1/F2: Restricted stock units (RSUs) and dividend equivalents convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis.
- F3/F4: A portion of RSUs vested as to one‑third on March 1, 2026 (and 1/12 every three months thereafter); dividend equivalents vest proportionately.
- F5: Additional RSUs vest 1/12 every three months beginning June 1, 2026.

- Timeliness: Form was filed two days after the reported transactions (file date 2026-03-03 for 2026-03-01 activity).
Context
- The reported sale was a tax-withholding disposition (not an open-market sale), a routine administrative step when RSUs convert to stock; such sales generally do not by themselves indicate a CEO changing his market view. The filings use M (exercise/conversion of derivative) and A (grant/award) codes because RSUs/dividend equivalents converted to or were issued as common shares, with a portion sold to cover taxes (F).
