Key Details
- Transaction dates: 05/28/2026 (grant and tax-withholding). Filing date: 05/29/2026 (timely).
- Withheld shares: 78 shares at $276.62 = $21,576 (tax withholding/disposition code F).
- RSU grant: 831 shares (award code A), acquisition value shown as $0.
- Vesting terms (footnote): RSUs vest the earlier of May 28, 2027, or the date of the issuer’s 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
- Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in this filing.
- No indication of a 10b5-1 plan, option exercise, or open-market purchase in this report.
Context
- RSU grants are a common form of compensation for executives and directors; tax withholding (share surrender) to cover related tax liabilities is routine and does not by itself indicate a buy or sell intent.
- This filing reports an award and routine tax-related withholding rather than an open-market purchase or sale, so it should be interpreted as compensation-related rather than a direct insider investment signal.
