Key Details
- Transaction dates: exercises/conversions and tax withholdings on 2026-02-14; awards granted on 2026-02-17; Form 4 filed 2026-02-18.
- Prices: exercised at $0 (derivative conversion); tax-withheld shares surrendered at $8.70 per share (F), totaling roughly $477,499.
- Net effect (approx): +168,553 shares converted → −54,885 shares surrendered for taxes → net ≈ +113,668 common shares issued to Blatherwick.
- Grants: 466,006 RSUs awarded on Feb 17 (A). Per filing footnotes, some RSUs vest 25% annually over years (multi-year vesting) and others vest after one year (see footnotes F8/F9).
- Codes explained: M = exercise/conversion of derivative, F = shares surrendered for tax withholding, A = award/grant.
- Filing context: This Form 4 was filed on behalf of seven reporting persons who may be a Section 13(d) group (collectively >10% ownership); each reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the others’ securities. The filing appears to reflect a cashless/net settlement of tax obligations rather than an open-market sale.
Context
- This was primarily an option/derivative conversion plus tax-withholding surrender (a routine, non-market sale method to pay taxes), followed by new RSU grants. Cashless or net-share settlements for tax withholding are common and do not by themselves indicate a buy/sell market sentiment.
- The Form 4 covers multiple insiders as noted in the remarks; consult the full filing if you need exact post-transaction total holdings or to see transactions for the other reporting persons.
