Key Details
- Transaction dates: Feb 13, 2026 (vesting and tax withholding); Feb 17, 2026 (new RSU grants).
- Prices/values: Withheld/disposed shares sold at $21.76 for total proceeds of $244,974; new RSUs reported at $0.00 (typical for restricted awards).
- Shares received vs withheld: 25,732 net shares delivered; 11,258 shares withheld to cover taxes.
- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing.
- Footnotes: F1 (each RSU = contingent right to one share); F2 (RSUs vested per 2020 Incentive Award Plan; only withholding shares were surrendered to satisfy taxes); F3–F4 (details of vesting schedules for the Feb 17 grants).
- Filing timing: Form 4 filed Feb 18, 2026 reporting Feb 13 and Feb 17 activity. Form 4s are normally due within two business days of a transaction, so the Feb 13 vest/withholding entry appears to have been filed after the typical two-business-day window.
Context
- These transactions are mainly awards and tax-withholding activity, not an open-market buy or sell decision as a market signal. RSU vesting and subsequent tax withholding is common compensation processing; the Feb 17 entries are new compensation grants with multi-year vesting schedules.
