What Happened

Key Details

  • Awarded/Acquired: 28,810 shares (code A; price N/A).
  • Withheld/Disposed for taxes: 8,626 shares @ $33.55 = $289,402 (code F).

  • Footnote: These shares stem from 2023 PRSUs granted Feb 23, 2023 with a three-year performance period ending Dec 31, 2025.

Context

  • The disposition was a tax-withholding event (not an open-market sale) commonly used when equity awards vest; it does not necessarily indicate insider sentiment about the stock.
  • This was a vesting of long-term performance awards (final payout after the performance period), not an option exercise or discretionary purchase.
