Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-04-01; Form 4 filed: 2026-04-03 (no late filing indicated in the provided data).
- Tax withholding disposals: 12,106 shares @ $7.41 = $89,705; 63,584 shares @ $6.71 = $426,649; total ≈ $516,354.
- Shares issued/converted: 131,781 (M code — exercise/conversion of derivative). Shares withheld/sold for taxes: 75,690 (F code).
- Footnote F1: Vesting of Restricted Stock — indicates the issuance was related to restricted stock vesting.
- Shares owned after the transaction are not explicitly reported in the provided excerpt; based on the numbers here, 131,781 issued minus 75,690 withheld implies 56,091 net shares retained from this event (derived from filing figures).
Context
- This was primarily a vesting/conversion event with tax withholding rather than an open-market sale or a purchase; withholding/sale of shares to cover taxes (F code) is routine after vesting and does not necessarily signal a change in insider sentiment.
- For retail investors: purchases or open-market buys are more indicative of bullish insider sentiment. This filing documents issuance/vesting and standard tax-related share withholding.
