- The filing shows no cash proceeds from the disposition (price reported as $0.00). This was not an open‑market sale; the RSUs vested and were settled into shares per the footnotes.
Key Details
- Transaction date: January 29, 2026; Form 4 filed February 2, 2026 (appears timely).
- Reported transactions: 747 RSUs converted to 747 shares (acquired); 747 shares disposed at $0.00 (derivative).
- Price / value: Acquisition price N/A; disposition price $0.00; no cash proceeds reported.
- Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing.
- Footnotes: F1 — each RSU represents a contingent right to one share; F2 — RSUs were granted for service as lead independent director and fully vested on Jan 29, 2026; vested units are settled in shares.
- Transaction codes: M (exercise/conversion of derivative). No 10b5-1 plan or late‑filing flag noted in the information provided.
Context
- This transaction reflects award vesting and settlement of RSUs rather than a market purchase or sale. Disposition at $0.00 commonly reflects shares surrendered or withheld to satisfy tax obligations upon vesting (the filing shows the share conversion and a zero‑dollar disposition, but does not specify the exact mechanism).
- Such award settlements are routine compensation-related events and do not, by themselves, indicate the director’s buy/sell sentiment in the open market.
