According to the Form 4, roughly 172,294 shares were issued to him from awards/conversions (including performance and restricted stock units and an option conversion).

Key details

  • Transaction dates: Feb 13, 2026 and Feb 14, 2026; Form 4 filed Feb 18, 2026.
  • Withheld shares for tax: 40,340 @ $72.09 (Feb 13) = $2,908,111; 1,651 @ $72.09 (Feb 14) = $119,021; total ≈ $3,027,132.
  • Awards/issuances: total reported issuance/conversion ≈ 172,294 shares (includes grants/RSUs/PSUs and an option conversion listed in the filing).
  • Shares owned after the transactions: not specified in the information provided in this summary.
  • Footnotes of note:
    • F1: RSUs and PSUs convert to common stock on a one-for-one basis.
    • F2: Performance stock units were granted Mar 2, 2023 and were certified on Feb 13, 2026 as achieving 200% of target (the reported PSU number includes dividend equivalents).
    • F3–F5: describe the vesting schedules for time-vesting options and restricted stock units referenced in the filing.
  • Filing timeliness: Form 4 was filed on Feb 18, 2026 for transactions on Feb 13–14; Form 4s are normally due within two business days of the transaction, so this filing appears to have been submitted after the usual deadline.

Context

  • These transactions are primarily award conversions/vestings (A/M codes) with shares withheld to satisfy tax liabilities (F code). The withheld shares are not an open-market sale for investment purposes but a tax-withholding disposition executed in connection with the vesting/conversion. The PSU vesting at 200% of target (per footnote) explains the large issuance of shares on the reported dates.
