Key Details

• Transaction dates: June 30, 2026; Form 4 filed July 1, 2026 (timely).
• Award: 223 shares granted (code A) — typical director equity compensation.
• Tax withholding: 67 shares withheld at $235.96/share = $15,809 (code F).
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the filing.
• Footnotes: (F1) These shares are the issuer’s quarterly equity compensation to non-associate directors. (F2) The 67-share disposition reflects shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding for a nonresident director.
• No 10b5-1 plan, option exercise, or cashless sale noted.

Context

• Grants to non-employee directors are routine compensation and do not necessarily signal the director buying or selling stock for investment reasons. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is a common administrative step and should not be read as an opportunistic sale.
• The material cash value shown on this filing is the tax withholding (~$15.8k); the award itself is compensation rather than an outright purchase.
