Key Details
- Transaction date: March 5, 2026; Form 4 filed March 6, 2026 (timely filing).
- Primary codes used: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (RSU conversion); F = payment of exercise price or tax withholding (shares withheld).

- Shares withheld for taxes (disposed): 31,090 shares at $27.36/share, total ≈ $850,622.
- Filing relates to an RSU vesting event (footnote). Some RSUs vest monthly under different schedules (36‑month and 60‑month installment schedules per footnotes).

Context
- This was an RSU vesting/cashless settlement event, not an open‑market buy or discretionary sale. Withholding shares to cover taxes (F) is routine and does not necessarily indicate bullish or bearish insider sentiment.
- For derivative/RSU activity: the filing shows conversion/exercise of awards (M) and immediate withholding of a portion of shares for taxes (F), a common way to satisfy tax obligations without a separate cash payment.
