Key Details

• Transaction dates: PSU settlement 2026-03-15; open-market sales 2026-03-16 and 2026-03-17.
• Individual sales: 13,901 @ $152.59; 15,906 @ $154.82; 13,074 @ $153.44. Total sold = 42,881 shares for ~$6.59M.
• Award background: PSUs were originally a target of 45,700 shares granted Feb 15, 2023; Compensation Committee certified achievement at 59%, yielding the 26,975-share payout (F1).
• Reason for some sales: filing notes sales were made to cover tax-withholding obligations on PSU/RSU settlements and other sales were effected under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (F2, F4, F6).
• Reported prices: filing gives weighted-average prices and price ranges for multiple-lot sales; the registrant will provide per-lot prices on SEC staff request (F3, F5, F7).
• Holdings after transaction: the excerpt does not state total beneficial ownership post-transactions; some shares are held by The Shawn M. Soderberg 2005 Trust (F8).
• Filing timeliness: reported on 2026-03-17 for transactions through 2026-03-17; no late filing flag indicated.

Context: The March 15 entry was an award/vesting of performance-based units rather than a market purchase. Several of the subsequent sales were labeled as tax-withholding or conducted under a Rule 10b5-1 plan — both are common, routine reasons for insiders to divest shares and do not by themselves indicate insider sentiment. Purchases generally carry more direct bullish signal than awards or tax/plan-driven sales.
