Key Details
- Transaction date: March 1, 2026; Form 4 filed March 3, 2026 (timely filing).
- Withheld shares and prices: 11,388 shares @ $12.74 ($145,083) and 11,388 shares @ $12.30 ($140,072); total ≈ $285,155.
- RSU details: Footnote states each RSU converts to one share and that the RSUs vested in full on March 1, 2026.
- Holdings notes: Filing indicates shares held in the Enrique Rodriguez Management Trust (includes prior transfers of 95,916 Class A and 95,916 Class C shares) and 2,720 shares received via the issuer’s 401(k) plan.
- Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (RSU conversion); F = payment of tax liability via share withholding (not an open-market sale).
Context
- This appears to be routine RSU vesting with shares withheld to satisfy tax obligations (a cashless/withholding settlement), not an open-market sell that signals a discretionary exit.
- Such tax-withholding dispositions are common after awards vest and should be interpreted as administrative tax compliance rather than a personal sell decision.
