What Happened

  • Award: 168,924 shares issued on PSU vesting (granted under the 2005 Equity Compensation Plan in 2023).
  • Withheld (tax payment): 85,217 + 3,503 + 3,913 + 18,542 = 111,175 shares withheld at $37.70 each, totaling ~$4.19M.

  • Footnotes: F1 — shares earned from PSUs granted in 2023; F2/F3 — shares were withheld by the issuer to satisfy tax obligations arising from PSU and RSU vesting.
  • Filing timeliness: Report shows the Form 4 was filed 5 days after the transaction date; marked as late in this record.

Context

  • This is not an open-market sale; the withheld shares were used to pay taxes on vested equity (a routine, administrative disposition), not a discretionary sale of shares by the insider.
  • Such withholding transactions are common when restricted stock or PSUs vest; they reflect tax withholding rather than a signal of intent to sell remaining holdings.
