  • Converted/acquired: 10,572 shares (76 + 10,496) at $0.00 (RSU settlement; code M).
  • Withheld for taxes (disposed on Form 4 for withholding purposes): 7,911 shares (57 + 7,854) at $12.82 → $731 and $100,688, total ≈ $101,419 (code F). No shares sold on the open market.

  • Footnotes: Shares were RSUs (F2–F6). Some awards originated May 23, 2024 and May 30, 2025; vesting schedule is 33% on 5/15 of the applicable year with remaining shares vesting in eight equal quarterly installments (see F4/F6).
  • Filing does not indicate a 10b5-1 plan or that shares were sold; this was a tax-withholding settlement, not a market sale.

Context

  • This was a routine RSU vesting and company withholding to meet tax obligations (cashless tax withholding), not an open-market sale or purchase. For retail investors, such withholdings are common and do not necessarily indicate an insider view on the company’s outlook. Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (here, RSU settlement); F = payment of exercise price or tax liability (here, share-withholding for taxes).
