Open-market sales on 2026-06-01: 21,069 shares at weighted $70.11 (range $69.49–$70.48) for $1,477,080; 3,931 shares at weighted $70.75 (range $70.49–$70.95) for $278,103.

  • Sales proceeded under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted Dec 8, 2025 (per filing).
  • Several granted shares are unvested restricted awards that vest 1 year after grant (see footnotes for grant dates). Some shares were withheld to satisfy tax withholding on vesting.
  • Filing timing: Reported on 2026-06-03 for transactions on 2026-06-01/06-02 — filed within the standard 2-business-day window (timely).

Context

  • This was effectively an exercise-and-sell sequence (exercise of options followed by immediate open-market sales), a common way for insiders to convert option holdings to cash. The sales were executed under a 10b5-1 plan, which can indicate pre-planned transactions rather than opportunistic timing.
  • The Purchase Plan acquisition and the unvested restricted stock awards are longer-term holdings and will vest per the conditions described in the footnotes; tax-withheld shares reduce the net increase in beneficial ownership.
