• Transaction date: April 25, 2026. Filing date (Accession): April 29, 2026.
• Conversion: 7,980 shares reported as acquired via conversion (price $0.00). Withholding: 8,054 shares disposed at $342.32 per share for $2,757,045 to cover taxes (footnote F3 indicates shares were withheld to satisfy tax obligations).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.

Context

• This was a vesting/settlement of restricted-equity units (GSUs). The withholding of shares to cover taxes is a common "sell-to-cover" or share-withholding practice and does not necessarily signal a voluntary sale for cash.
• For retail investors: purchases are typically more informative as a bullish signal. This filing documents routine compensation vesting and tax-related withholding rather than an opportunistic insider sale.
