Key Details
- Transaction dates: conversions and tax-withholding primarily 2026-08-22; one conversion and an open-market sale on 2026-08-25. Form 4 filed 2026-08-26 (timely).
- Conversions (code M): 313 + 3,042 + 6,250 + 8,187 on Aug 22; 1,250 on Aug 25 = 19,042 RSUs converted to common stock.
- Tax withholding (code F): 123 + 1,197 + 2,459 + 3,221 = 7,000 shares withheld at $31.76 = $222,320 (these withheld shares are to satisfy tax obligations and, per the filing, do not represent an open-market sale by the reporting person).
- Open-market sale (code S): 491 shares @ $31.84 on 2026-08-25 = $15,633.
- Net new shares retained from the vesting/conversions: 19,042 − 7,000 − 491 = 11,551 shares.
- Relevant footnotes: F1 notes RSUs convert 1:1 into common stock; F2 clarifies withheld shares are for tax withholding (not a sale by the insider); F3–F7 list prior RSU grants and vesting schedules that underpin these conversions.
- Transaction codes: M = conversion/exercise of derivative, F = payment of exercise price or tax liability (here used for tax withholding), S = open-market sale.
Context
These entries reflect RSU vesting and conversion (not a cash purchase). The tax-withholding entries are the company withholding shares to cover income taxes on the vesting (a routine, non-bull/bear signal). The only open-market sale reported here is the small 491-share sale for about $15.6K. For retail investors, conversions/withholdings show executive compensation being realized; purchases would be more directly bullish, while withholding and small sales are common administrative steps.
