Key Details

• Transaction date: March 31, 2026; Form 4 filed April 2, 2026.
• Grant type/code: A (award/acquisition) — 883 RSUs @ $68.02 each = $60,062.
• Vesting: According to the filing, the RSUs will vest in full on March 31, 2027 (Footnote F1).
• Shares reported associated with Guthrie: Guthrie 2012 Investments LP holds 34,106 shares; Mr. Guthrie disclaims beneficial ownership of those LP-held shares except to the extent of any direct pecuniary interest (Footnote F2). The filing does not report immediate issuance of common shares — these are contingent RSUs until vesting.
• Filing timeliness: Report filed April 2, 2026 (within typical Form 4 filing window for a March 31 transaction).

Context
RSUs are a form of equity compensation that represent a contingent right to receive shares upon vesting; they do not reflect an immediate open-market purchase or sale and often serve as deferred compensation. The footnote clarifies that Mr. Guthrie is the investment manager of an LP that holds shares but disclaims beneficial ownership of those LP shares, so the LP holdings should be viewed separately from this personal RSU award.
