- Transaction date and reported price: 2026-03-16 at $123.69 per share (Form 4 filed 2026-03-18).
- Share counts and values: 1,536 RSUs ($189,988) + 768 RSUs ($94,994) = 2,304 RSUs (~$284,982).
- Vesting notes (from filing footnotes):

- One award vests in four equal quarterly installments from the grant date.
- The other award vests one day prior to the 2027 annual shareholders’ meeting.

Context
- RSUs are deferred stock awards; they convert into shares only after vesting and are not an immediate open-market purchase. They are commonly used for compensation and retention.
- Awards like these are routine insider compensation and do not, by themselves, indicate a buy or sell decision by the insider. They do increase potential future share dilution once vested and settled.
