Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-17
• Price per share: $42.79
• Shares disposed: 13,361
• Total value: ~$571,717
• Transaction code: F (payment of exercise price or tax liability — typically shares withheld to cover taxes)
• Filing date: 2026-03-27 (filed 10 days after the transaction; later than the usual 2-business-day Form 4 deadline)

Context

• Code F transactions usually reflect “sell-to-cover” or shares withheld to satisfy tax obligations from option exercises or vested awards. These are common, routine administrative actions and do not necessarily signal the insider’s broader view of the company. The late filing reduces short-term transparency for investors but does not, by itself, indicate wrongdoing.
