• Notable footnotes: withheld shares (F1) were retained by the issuer to satisfy tax withholding for RSU vesting; several open‑market sales were executed under a pre‑approved 10b5‑1 plan (adoption date 05‑18‑2026, F2).

Context

• The F‑coded transactions represent shares retained by the company to cover tax obligations on vested restricted stock units (a common, non‑market “disposition” method), while the S‑coded transactions are open‑market sales. The presence of a 10b5‑1 plan indicates the sales were pre‑planned and not necessarily a contemporaneous expression of sentiment. This Form 4 does not indicate any purchases by the insider.
