Key Details
- Transaction date: April 11, 2026; Form 4 filed April 14, 2026 (timely filing).
- Reported actions: M = conversion/exercise of 24,400 RSUs into shares (price $0.00); F = payment of exercise price or tax liability related to those units.
- Shares delivered/ownership after transaction: Not specified in the filing; footnote says shares will be delivered according to an irrevocable deferral election.
- Origin of award: These RSUs were part of a grant on April 11, 2023 under the company’s 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (see footnotes for vesting schedule).

Context
- This was a vesting/conversion of RSUs (a derivative-to-share event), not a cash purchase or a sale. The filing shows $0.00 exercise price and no proceeds, and the shares’ delivery is subject to Smerling’s deferral election. Such vesting events are routine compensation-related transactions and do not, by themselves, indicate buying or selling sentiment.
