- Conversion/issue prices: $0.00 for the converted awards (these were awarded/vested shares, not option strike payments); withholding executed at $21.40/share.
- Withheld shares for taxes: 7,227 shares total (1,874 + 5,353) for total tax withholding ≈ $154,658.

- Relevant footnotes from the filing:
- F1: Shares withheld to pay taxes.
- F2: Shares earned/delivered from a performance stock unit award (granted Feb 2023) after certification of performance for period ended Dec 31, 2025; vested upon certification (Feb 24, 2026).
- F3: Shares issued at 1-for-1 conversion.
- F4: Some restricted stock units vest 20% annually beginning Feb 24, 2024 (background on original grant vesting schedule).
Context
- This was not an open-market buy or sale; it reflects award conversions/vesting and standard tax-withholding (a common, routine insider event). Because the shares were issued/converted at $0.00, there was no cash exercise price paid — these were vested/earned shares rather than a paid stock option exercise.
- No indication of a 10% owner transaction or a 10b5-1 plan; no gifts reported. The filing appears timely.
