Key Details

  • Transaction date: Feb 25, 2026 (reported on Form 4 filed Feb 26, 2026).
  • Grants/awards: 10,026; 13,482; 13,026; and 12,952 shares (all recorded as awards, code A).
  • Exercise/conversion entries: 4,749 shares acquired (code M); an additional derivative conversion of 4,749 shares is noted.
  • Tax withholding/disposition: 41,233 shares withheld/disposed (code F) at $34.41/share = $1,418,828.
  • Remaining/unvested awards: filing notes unvested RSUs and PSUs remain outstanding (for example, 78,389 RSUs are referenced); see the filing for a full breakdown of unvested PSUs by grant/period.
  • Footnote context: Compensation Committee certified performance metrics for multiple PSU grants (Oct 19, 2022; Mar 7, 2023; Mar 7, 2025), causing portions to vest at above-target levels; some vested PSU shares were settled and tax-withheld rather than sold in the open market.
  • Timeliness: Form 4 was filed the next day (Feb 26, 2026), consistent with a timely reporting window.

Context This was primarily a vesting/settlement event (performance-based PSUs and restricted awards) rather than an open-market investment or discretionary sale. The 41,233-share disposition reflects shares withheld to satisfy tax obligations upon settlement (a common cashless withholding mechanism), not necessarily an independent sell decision signaling a change in insider sentiment. For details on how many vested from each grant and remaining unvested awards, consult the full Form 4 and the footnotes.
