  • Shares disposed (used to cover taxes): 973; total value ≈ $131,404.
  • Award details (footnote): 2,866 total performance shares earned; 1,893 shares were issued to Galtman, 0 deferred stock units, and 973 shares were used to satisfy tax liability (1,893 + 0 + 973 = 2,866).

Context
This is a tax-withholding disposal (transaction code F) tied to a performance share award — effectively a cashless cover of the tax obligation, not a market sale indicating a directional bet. Such withholdings are routine when equity awards vest and do not by themselves indicate insider sentiment. The late amended filing reduces timeliness of disclosure; investors who track insider activity should note the reporting lag.
