What Happened

Key Details
- Transaction dates and prices: Feb 13–14, 2026; tax withholding disposals at $72.09/share (116,158 shares for $8,373,830 on Feb 13; 4,663 shares for $336,156 on Feb 14).
- Awards reported on Feb 13, 2026 included 210,715; 195,695; and 41,615 derivative awards (RSUs/PSUs) that converted/exercised into common stock per the Form 4.
- Total shares withheld/sold for taxes: 120,821 shares; total cash realized from withholding: ~$8.71M.
- Footnotes of note:
- F1: RSUs and PSUs convert 1:1 into common stock.
- F2: The PSUs (granted Mar 2, 2023) were certified at 200% of target for FY2023–FY2025, and the reported number includes 3,954 dividend equivalents prior to adjustment for performance.
- F3–F5: Additional footnotes describe ongoing time-based vesting schedules for options and RSUs (standard multi-year vesting).
- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the information you provided from the filing.
- Filing timeliness: Form 4 was filed on Feb 18, 2026 reporting activity on Feb 13–14, 2026; this appears to be filed after the typical two-business-day window (the filing shows a one-day delay), so it was effectively late.
Context
- These transactions reflect award vesting/conversion and tax-withholding (a common “cashless” settlement to cover taxes), not an open-market sale for investment purposes. The key signal here is that PSUs were certified at 200% of target (per F2), triggering a large vested payout; the withheld shares were used to satisfy tax obligations.
- No 10% owner issues or gifts are indicated; this is routine executive compensation settlement activity rather than a discretionary insider purchase or market sale.
