Key Details
- Transaction date: Feb 10, 2026; Form 4 filed Feb 12, 2026 (timely filing).
- Grants: 574 RSUs and 1,294 RSU-related derivative shares, each recorded at $0.00.
- Tax withholding: 221 shares withheld @ $391.53 = $86,528 (code F — withholding for tax liability; shares not sold by the insider).

Context
- This filing reflects a compensation-related award (RSUs) rather than an open-market purchase or a voluntary sale; RSU grants are standard executive compensation and do not directly signal a buy/sell decision by the insider.
- The tax-withheld shares were not sold on the market by Hobbs (common administrative withholding). The RSUs have multi-year vesting, so vested shares will be delivered over time per the schedule in footnote F1.
