- The remaining 19,914 vested shares were sold in multiple open-market trades on Feb 26, 2026, yielding aggregate proceeds of approximately $5,010,041. Additionally, 2,742 shares were gifted to a charitable organization (no cash proceeds).
Key Details
- Transaction dates: Feb 25, 2026 (RSU vesting / withholding) and Feb 26, 2026 (gifts and open-market sales).
- Withheld (tax payment): 14,802 shares @ $251.99 = $3,729,956 (coded F — tax withholding).
- Gifts: 2,742 shares gifted to charity on Feb 26, 2026 (coded G).
- Open-market sales (all Feb 26, 2026): total 19,914 shares sold across multiple trades:
- 434 shares at weighted avg $249.29 = $108,190 (range $249.175–$249.56)
- 8,286 shares at weighted avg $251.06 = $2,080,324 (range $250.47–$251.445)
- 10,448 shares at weighted avg $252.01 = $2,633,003 (range $251.47–$252.45)

- Total proceeds from the open-market sales ≈ $5.01M; combined value of withheld + sales ≈ $8.74M.
- Sales were executed pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by Pemble on Feb 28, 2025 (footnote F4).
- Footnote: 34,716 shares vested; of those, 14,802 withheld for taxes (footnote F1). The filing notes other holdings include 62,180 unvested RSUs (footnote F2).
- Filing timeliness: Form 4 filed Feb 27, 2026 for transactions on Feb 25–26, 2026 — appears timely (no late-file flag).
Context
- This was a vesting of RSUs followed largely by withholding for taxes and systematic sales — a common practice to cover tax obligations and/or follow an existing trading plan. The sales were executed under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan, which is designed to avoid trading on nonpublic information.
- Gifts to charity do not indicate a market sentiment trade; they are non-cash dispositions.
- These actions are routine insider post-vesting dispositions rather than open-market purchases; purchases typically carry clearer bullish signals for investors.
