Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-07-07; filing date: 2026-07-08 (timely).
• Award (code A): 14,750 shares acquired on vesting; reported acquisition price $0.00 (typical for vested awards).
• Withholding (code F): 6,408 shares withheld/disposed at $32.16/share = $206,081 to cover taxes.
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the filing.
• Footnotes: F1 — vesting of a 2023 performance share award; F2 — shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding.
• Not a market sale or open-market purchase—this was vesting of a compensation award with shares withheld for taxes.

Context

• This is a standard equity-compensation vesting event. The withheld shares were used to cover tax obligations (a common administrative step) rather than an intentional open-market sale signaling sentiment.
• For clarity: this was not an exercise of options or a discretionary sale/purchase—no cash purchase or new investment by the insider occurred.
