- These disposals were tax withholdings (Form 4 code F), not open-market sales.
Key Details
- Transaction date: February 10, 2026; Form 4 filed Feb 12, 2026 (timely filing).
- Reported prices/values: withholding price $59.22 per share; withheld value ≈ $204,546 total. Grants/exercise shown at $0.00 per share in the filing (typical for RSU vesting or option conversion entries).
- Shares issued per filing: 1,964 (exercise/conversion) + 3,221 (award) + 2,592 (award) = 7,777 issued; 3,454 withheld for taxes; net +4,323 shares.
- Notable footnotes: withheld shares used to satisfy tax withholding on issuance; awards were granted under the company’s Stock Incentive Plan and include RSU vesting tied to continued employment (vesting referenced in the filing).
- Filing does not indicate these were open-market sales. The F-code disposals are routine tax-withholding transactions.
Context
- This is primarily a grant/vesting and option-conversion event, not a discretionary sale — tax withholding is common when RSUs vest or options are exercised. Such transactions are routine and do not necessarily signal buying or selling intent.
- For retail investors: the filing increases Turner’s net holding by 4,323 shares, but the withheld shares are simply a payroll/tax action. No 10% owner or suspicious open-market sale was reported in this filing.
