Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-17; Form 4 filed: 2026-04-20 (filing appears timely).
• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A) — Restricted Share Units (derivative).
• Amount: 0.922 RSUs at $314.92 per share; reported value $290 (derivative).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the filing.
• Footnote: RSUs were issued in lieu of cash dividends on RSUs held by the reporting person; each RSU is the economic equivalent of one share. Dividend-equivalent RSUs on unvested shares become payable in stock and/or cash when underlying shares vest or at the director’s designated timing.
• Administrative note: Power of Attorney on file.

Context RSU grants for dividend equivalents are routine corporate actions and do not represent an open-market purchase or sale by the insider. Because these are derivative awards tied to existing holdings and vesting rules, they should be interpreted as administrative compensation/dividend-equivalent activity rather than a direct bullish or bearish trade.
