• Tax withholding/settlement: 2026-08-28 — 370 shares withheld/disposed (Transaction code F) at $233.27/share = $86,310.

Context

• This looks like a routine equity award followed by share withholding to cover taxes — a common administrative step that reduces the net shares delivered to the insider. It is not an open-market sale and does not, by itself, indicate a change in Caldwell’s market view.
