Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-02-18; filing date: 2026-02-19 (filed within typical Form 4 timing).
- Award: 2,447 RSUs issued/acquired at $0.00.
- Tax withholding: 908 shares withheld/disposed at $42.71 for $38,781.
- Footnote F1: Shares were withheld by the company to satisfy statutory tax withholding on vesting.
- Footnote F2: Reported ownership/amounts include 4,667 unvested RSUs.
- This was an award/vesting event with routine tax withholding, not an open-market purchase or voluntary sale.
Context
- RSU vesting and the corresponding share withholding for taxes are common corporate compensation mechanics; the withheld shares are used to meet withholding obligations rather than signaling a discretionary sale by the insider. For investors, awards increase insider exposure over time as remaining RSUs vest, while withheld shares simply cover tax liabilities.
