Key Details
- Transaction date: June 15, 2026 (filed on June 18, 2026 — the filing appears one business day late under standard Form 4 timing rules).
- Total sold: 1,050 shares for total proceeds ≈ $387,064 across multiple trades; per-lot quantities and reported amounts are listed in the filing.
- Prices: weighted-average prices reported per lot; sale price ranges across lots roughly between $365.91 and $370.34 (see footnotes F1–F12 for specific ranges).
- Awards: Acquired 0.1, 1, 1, and 1 share-equivalents (total ~3.1) from GSUs/DEUs; GSUs/DEUs vest monthly per the footnotes.
- Plan/Reason: All sales were executed pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted November 10, 2025 (reported in the filing’s remarks).
- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the excerpt of the filing provided.
Context
- Sales made under a 10b5-1 trading plan are typically pre-arranged and are considered routine rather than an immediate signal of management sentiment; the small award entries reflect vesting of GSUs/DEUs rather than open-market purchases.
- For retail investors, purchases by insiders can be more informative than routine plan-driven sales; here, the activity appears to be plan-based disposals and vesting-related awards.
