Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-13; Form 4 filed: 2026-03-17 (filed within the standard reporting window).
• Reported acquisition: 5,053 shares at $30.05 each (total value $151,843).
• Reported disposition: 5,053 derivative units disposed at $0.00 (this reflects conversion/cessation of the derivative instrument, not a market sale).
• Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in the provided filing.
• Footnote: The conversion reflects the vesting of performance share units (PSUs) from a Dec 6, 2024 grant after meeting a stock-price performance condition (common stock closed ≥ $27.61 for at least 20 trading days within a 30-day window and the grant reached its one-year anniversary).

Context

• Code M indicates exercise or conversion of a derivative; here it represents PSUs converting into common shares rather than an open-market purchase or sale. No immediate sale of the resulting shares is reported in this filing. Performance-based awards like these vest only after meeting specified targets and are different from voluntary market purchases or sales.
