Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-18; Form 4 filed: 2026-02-20 (timely filing).
• Shares withheld/disposed: 5,319 at $76.59 each; total value $407,382.
• Transaction code: F (tax withholding on vested equity). Footnote F1: shares were withheld by the issuer to pay taxes due after RSU vesting.

• Not a 10b5-1 trade or gift; routine tax withholding rather than a market sale.

Context
Tax-withholding dispositions for vested RSUs are common and procedural: the company retains shares to cover required taxes, which reduces the insider’s share count without indicating a deliberate sell decision in the open market. Such transactions generally carry less informational weight about the insider’s view of the company compared with open-market purchases or intentional sales.
