Key Details

  • Transaction date: February 12, 2026 (Form 4 filed February 17, 2026 — 5 days after the transaction; may be late for a Form 4 filing).
  • Exercise: 7,500 SARs exercised; exercise price shown as $2.00/share (total $15,000).
  • Withholding: 3,429 shares withheld at $92.72/share ≈ $317,937 to pay exercise price and taxes (code F).
  • Net shares received: 4,071 shares delivered to Li Xun.
  • Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided summary.
  • Footnotes: F1 confirms the 4,071 net shares delivered and 3,429 shares withheld; F2 notes an SAR vests and becomes exercisable on September 2, 2026 (as stated in the filing).

Context

  • This was a cashless/net settlement of SARs — common practice where some shares are withheld to cover exercise costs and taxes rather than the executive paying cash.
  • Net acquisition of 4,071 shares is an insider acquisition event, but because part of the position was withheld to pay costs, it’s different from an open-market purchase.
  • No 10b5-1 plan, gifts, or open-market sale were reported in this filing; the transaction reflects the vest/exercise mechanics for an equity award.
