Key Details
- Transaction date: March 23, 2026 (Form 4 filed March 25, 2026 — appears timely).
- Award: 2,474 shares granted (acquired at $0.00).
- Tax withholding: 1,115 shares disposed at $28.64 each, totaling $31,934.
- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
- Footnote: The PSUs were originally granted March 14, 2023. Payout was determined on March 23, 2026 after the Compensation and Talent Committee certified results — Adjusted EBITDA PSUs earned at 69.15% and ROIC PSUs at 63.44, yielding an overall payout of 40.35% of the original grant.
- Transaction codes: A = award/grant; F = shares withheld/used to satisfy tax withholding.
Context
- This was a vesting of performance-based equity, not a discretionary buy or sell indicating a change in sentiment. The withholding of shares for taxes is a common administrative step when restricted stock units vest and does not by itself signal a decision to reduce a holding beyond tax obligations.
- For retail investors: awards increase insider ownership (net of withholding) but are compensation-driven; focus more on purchases by insiders if you seek potential bullish signals.
