Key Details

  • Transactions/dates:
    • 2025-12-31: Discretionary acquisition of 1,306 shares via company 401(k) / purchase program (footnotes F1, F2).
    • 2026-02-27: Surrendered 105, 87, 401, 101 and 89 shares (total 783) to satisfy tax liabilities on restricted stock issued 2/28/2022–2/28/2025 that vested 2/27/2026 (footnotes F3–F6; code F = tax withholding).
    • 2026-02-27: Award/grant of 784 restricted shares (footnote F7; code A = award/grant).
  • Prices/values: All transactions report price as N/A; filing does not disclose cash values.
  • Shares owned after transactions: Not specified in the filing.
  • Notable footnotes: 401(k) purchases occur under company plan and may involve scheduled purchase plans/10b5-1 arrangements (F1). The awarded restricted shares are subject to transfer/forfeiture restrictions until vesting (F8).
  • Vesting schedule for the new restricted award: 20% annually on 2/28 of 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030 and 2031 (F9).

Context

  • The 783-share surrender was a tax-withholding action tied to vesting of prior RSUs and is a routine administrative transaction, not an open-market sale. The 1,306-share 401(k) acquisition reflects plan contributions/purchases. The 784-share award is compensation/retention via restricted stock and vests over five years; it does not imply an immediate sale. No late-filing flag is indicated in the provided data.
