Key Details

  • Transaction date(s): February 2, 2026 (report filed February 4, 2026; accession 0001543503-26-000001). Filing appears timely.
  • Grants: 60,000 RSUs + 14,474 PRSUs (total 74,474 RSUs) reported at $0.00 per share.
  • Withholding: 4,644 shares withheld to satisfy taxes at $20.42/share = $94,830 (code F).
  • Vesting/conditions: PRSUs were originally granted Feb 1, 2025 and certified as earned Feb 2, 2026 (footnote F2). The RSU vesting schedule: one‑third vests April 6, 2027, remaining two‑thirds vest in equal quarterly installments thereafter (rounded down) until 100% vests on the third anniversary of April 6, 2027, subject to continued employment (footnote F1).
  • Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the filing.
  • Footnote on withholding: shares were withheld by the issuer to satisfy tax obligations (footnote F3), not sold on the open market.

Context
RSU and PRSU grants are compensation, not purchases; they become valuable only as they vest (subject to the schedule and performance certification). The withholding of shares to cover taxes is a common administrative step and should not be read as an open‑market sale signaling sentiment. The PRSU award was performance-based and only became payable after the company certified achievement of the performance criteria.
