• Notable footnotes: F1 = surrender of shares to satisfy tax withholding upon vesting of a performance-based award; F2 = weighted-average sale price range and availability of per-price breakdown on request; F3/F4 = details on trust holdings; F5 = reference to equivalent shares in the company 401(k) unitized stock fund.

Context

• The February 27 share surrenders relate to vesting and tax-withholding (a common, non-market-signaling administrative action). The March 2 transactions were open-market sales.
• Bergman retired as CEO effective March 1, 2026, but remains Chairman of the Board (noted in the filing).
• These are dispositions (sales/surrenders), which are often routine (tax withholding, estate/trust management, or liquidity), and do not by themselves indicate the insider’s view of long-term company performance.
