Key Details
- Transaction date: February 11, 2026; Form 4 filed February 13, 2026 (within the typical two-business-day reporting window).
- Price: $0.00 reported for all items (reflects vesting/conversion/award settlement rather than a cash purchase).
- Net change: +2,847 shares.
- Tax withholding: 435 shares were withheld to satisfy tax obligations on PSU/RSU vesting (footnote F2).
- Performance vesting: footnote F1 indicates performance-based RSUs vested at 165.3% of the original award and include dividend-equivalent shares.
- Plans/awards: awards issued under company incentive plans (footnotes F3, F7); some units include dividend equivalents (F6); certain derivative instruments have no conversion price/exercise/expiration dates per F5.
- Filing timeliness: not indicated as late; filed two days after the reported transactions.
Context
- These transactions largely reflect compensation-related equity activity (vested performance RSUs/RSUs and conversions/exercises) rather than open-market buying or opportunistic selling. Shares withheld for taxes are a routine part of equity vesting. Because the reported per-share price is $0.00, the Form 4 is documenting settlement/vesting events rather than purchases on the open market.
