Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-02; Form 4 filed: 2026-09-04 (timely filing).
• Price used for withholding: $59.84 per share.
• Shares surrendered: 747 and 1,073 (total 1,820).
• Total value surrendered: $108,908.
• Post-transaction holdings: Form notes end-of-period holdings reflect the vesting of RSUs previously reported (footnote F2); the filing excerpt provided does not list an exact total share balance after withholding.
• Footnotes: F1 = shares surrendered to pay taxes on RSU vesting; F2 = end-of-period holdings reflect RSU vesting.
• Transaction code F = tax withholding (routine), not an open-market sale (code S).

Context This was a routine cashless withholding to satisfy tax obligations when RSUs vested, a common administrative transaction that does not necessarily reflect a decision to sell shares in the market. For retail investors, purchase transactions can signal confidence; tax-withholding share surrenders are typically neutral and reflect compensation mechanics rather than a view on company prospects.
