Key Details

• Transaction date: July 19, 2026; reported on Form 4 filed July 21, 2026 (no indication of a late filing).
• Disposed: 524 shares at $105.08 each — total $55,062.
• Footnote F1: Notes a portion of 2023 Performance Stock Units vested and that, in accordance with the plan, the Reporting Person disposed of 1,750 shares back to the issuer to satisfy tax obligations (the Form 4 line reports 524 shares as the specific disposition shown here).
• Footnote F2: Reporting person’s position includes 7,276 unvested restricted shares and 4,190 performance-earned restricted shares (i.e., significant unvested holdings remain).
• Transaction code: F = payment of exercise price or tax liability (commonly a share withholding or surrender to cover taxes).

Context This was a tax-withholding/surrender related to the vesting of performance shares rather than an open-market sell motivated by liquidity or view on the company. Such withholding/surrenders are routine and not necessarily a negative signal about insider confidence. For derivative/award transactions, Form 4 often reports both the gross vesting and the shares withheld or surrendered to cover taxes; the filing here documents the share surrender/withholding portion.
