Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-17; Form 4 filed: 2026-02-19 (filed within the typical two-business-day window).
• Price/value: $72.31 per share; total value ≈ $1,012.

• Transaction code: A = Award/Grant.
• Footnote: These 14 units represent dividend equivalent units accrued on Feb 17, 2026 tied to underlying restricted stock units. Dividend equivalents vest and are settled on the same terms as the related RSUs; each unit is the economic equivalent of one share.

Context

• Dividend-equivalent units are payouts tied to RSUs (they mirror dividends on the underlying shares) and typically convert or settle under the same vesting schedule as the RSUs — this is an award-style credit rather than a market buy or sale.
• Such awards are common as part of director compensation and are informational rather than a direct signal of buying or selling intent.
