- Shares owned after the transactions are not specified in the filing.
- Timeliness: Form 4 was filed on 2026-03-17 for transactions dated 3/13–3/15/2026; this filing appears to be within the SEC’s two-business-day requirement.
Context
- These filings reflect a new restricted-stock award (vesting over three years) and routine company withholding of shares to satisfy tax liabilities from prior vestings. Withholdings are common and do not indicate an open-market sale or necessarily signal the insider’s view on the stock.
