Key Details

  • Transaction date: March 4, 2026.
  • Open-market sale: 11,277 shares at a weighted average price of $32.46; total reported proceeds $366,102. Price range for the sales: $32.095–$33.30 (per filing).
  • Derivative activity: 23,251 shares reported as exercised/converted (M) and 23,251 reported as disposed at $0 — this reflects settlement/conversion of derivative awards.
  • Grant: 50,643 restricted share units (A) reported on March 4, 2026.
  • Purpose of sale: Footnote states 11,277 shares were sold to cover tax withholding obligations related to RSU vesting.
  • Plan and rules: Sale executed pursuant to a Rule 10b5‑1 trading plan adopted Nov 10, 2025.
  • Vesting notes: Prior RSU grant (March 4, 2024) had 23,251 vestings on March 4, 2025 and March 4, 2026, with remaining vesting through 2028; the new RSU grant (Mar 4, 2026) vests in installments 2027–2030 (see footnotes).
  • Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided excerpt.
  • Filing timeliness: No late filing flag noted in the provided information.

Context

  • This filing combines RSU vesting/settlement and a routine tax‑withholding sale. The derivative/award entries indicate conversion or settlement of restricted share units rather than an exercised option followed by a market sale for profit taking.
  • Sales to cover tax withholding are common when equity awards vest and do not necessarily signal a change in insider sentiment. The 10b5‑1 plan indicates the sale was prearranged.
