Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-06-25; Form 4 filed 2026-06-29 (timely within two business days).
- Acquisitions: 1,250 shares @ $0.00 (conversion/vesting); 1,622 shares @ $35.03 (exercise/conversion) — $56,819 total cash value for the latter.
- Dispositions: 1,201 shares withheld to pay taxes @ $35.03 = $42,071; two derivative disposals at $0 reflect the conversion/settlement of awards.
- Footnotes: F1 = shares withheld to pay tax liability on vesting PSUs. F2/F3 = vesting triggered by achievement of stock-price performance conditions for PSU grants made 12/7/2023 and 12/6/2024 (each PSU = right to one share).
- Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the supplied filing details.
Context
- These were derivative-related settlements (PSUs/performance awards and conversion/exercise events). The withholding of shares to cover taxes is a common non-market sale and does not necessarily indicate a bearish view.
- For retail investors, purchases or conversions that increase insider ownership (net +1,671 shares here) can be informative; however, vesting/withholding events are often routine compensation-related transactions.
