Key Details
- Transaction date: February 4, 2026; Form 4 filed February 5, 2026 (timely filing).
- Type: Award/Acquisition (code A) — 17,460 restricted stock units (RSUs) at $0.00.
- Footnote F6: These 17,460 RSUs reflect converted/credited shares from an original grant of 11,467 Performance Stock Units plus dividend reinvestment; performance was certified 2/4/2026 and vesting is set for 2/16/2026 (third anniversary of the grant).
- Other footnotes (F1–F5, F7) show additional unvested RSU grants from prior awards and ~688.551 shares acquired via dividend reinvestment; the excerpt does not state total shares owned after this transaction—see the full Form 4 for complete ownership totals.
- Filing timeliness: filed one day after the transaction date, within the typical two-business-day Form 4 deadline.
Context RSUs/PSUs are compensation awards, not open-market purchases; the $0.00 price reflects that no cash was paid by the insider. Performance certification means predetermined goals were met, allowing the award to be granted/settled subject to the vesting date. Such awards increase insider ownership if and when they vest, but they differ from voluntary purchases (which some investors view as a stronger bullish signal).
