Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-21; Form filed: 2026-04-23 (timely filing).
• Awarded: 989 stock units @ $0.00 (total reported $0). Footnote F1: these stock units are payable 1-for-1 in shares of common stock.
• Acquired: 34.89 shares @ $171.74 = $5,992.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• No 10b5-1 plan, tax-withholding code, or late filing indicator shown in this report.

Context

• The structure (a larger grant of stock units reported at $0 and a smaller acquisition at market price) commonly reflects an award of restricted or deferred stock units with some shares issued or withheld in connection with the award (e.g., to satisfy tax withholding), but the filing itself simply reports the grant and acquisition.
• This is an award receipt (not an open-market purchase or sale), so it reflects compensation/benefit to the insider rather than a directional market bet.
