Key Details
- Transaction date: May 18, 2026; Form 4 filed May 20, 2026 (timely filing — within the usual two-business-day window).
- Reported disposal prices: $5.18 per share for the reported withholding/dispositions.
- 226,630 shares (payment of tax liability) — $1,173,943
- 302,138 shares (disposition to issuer / share withholding) — $1,565,075

- Exercise/conversion reported for 528,768 derivative units (M code)
- Shares owned after the transactions: the provided excerpt does not show the exact post-transaction beneficial ownership total; the filing notes (F2) a prior Form 4 had an immaterial computational error and that the current filing reflects the corrected holdings.
- Footnotes:
- F1: The RSUs were cash-settled (each RSU paid an amount equal to the fair market value of one share on vesting).
- F3: Some amounts are cash-equivalent withholdings for taxes on cash-settled RSUs.
- F4: Some shares were withheld to cover taxes on RSU vesting.
- F2: Correction to a prior Form 4’s holdings calculation.
Context
- This filing reflects RSU vesting and routine tax-withholding/settlement activity (cash-settled RSUs and share withholding), not an open-market investment purchase. For derivative code M, the filing shows conversion/exercise activity followed by withholdings or cash settlement to satisfy tax/exercise obligations. Such transactions are commonly tax-related and do not by themselves indicate insider sentiment about the company’s stock price.
