Key Details

  • Transaction dates: Feb 5–6, 2026. Filing date: Feb 9, 2026 (timely).
  • Option exercises: 4,129 shares x 4 exercises = 16,516 shares acquired at $15.80–$15.93 (total paid ≈ $262,026). (M = option exercise)
  • Open‑market sales: 12,831 shares sold in aggregated trades at weighted average prices ranging ~ $185–$197; total proceeds ≈ $2,502,877. (S = sale)
  • Net reported change from these transactions: +3,685 shares (acquired 16,516 less sold 12,831). Actual shares owned after the transactions are not specified in the provided extract.
  • Footnotes: F1 — some trades were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5‑1 trading plan adopted Sept 12, 2025; F2–F9 — several sales were executed in multiple trades (aggregated weighted averages reported); F10–F12 — record ownership held via family trust and some shares originate from earlier grants with multi‑year vesting.
  • Filing appears timely (transactions on Feb 5–6; report filed Feb 9).

Context

  • Code M indicates option exercises; because large numbers of shares were sold shortly after exercise, this resembles a common cashless exercise and sell pattern (exercise at low strike, sell higher‑priced shares). The presence of a 10b5‑1 plan (F1) shows some sales were pre‑scheduled.
  • These are insider transactions and factual disclosures — they do not by themselves prove intent or predict company performance. Purchases typically attract more attention as potential bullish signals; here the actions resulted mainly in sales after exercising options.
