- Vesting/conversion: 62,493 RSUs -> 62,493 common shares (code M, $0.00 exercise price).
- Tax withholding: 26,755 shares withheld (code F) at $4.58/share = $122,538; this was not an open-market sale.
- Shares remaining after withholding: 35,738 (per footnote describing remaining common stock).
- Footnotes: RSUs vesting on the date; each RSU equals one share; remaining RSUs will vest in equal quarterly installments; the reported number reflects the remainder of RSUs from the March 5, 2025 grant.
- Filing timeliness: Report covers 2026-03-05 and was filed 2026-03-06 (appears timely).
Context
- This was a routine vesting of RSUs and withholding to cover tax obligations (a non‑market disposition). There was no open‑market sale of shares and no cash purchase — the underlying RSUs simply converted to shares and the company retained a portion to satisfy taxes. Such award vestings are standard compensation events and do not by themselves indicate a change in insider confidence.
