Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-05-29, 4.294 shares at $50.53 per share (total ≈ $217).
• SEC transaction code: J — "other acquisition or disposition" (the filing did not specify the exact nature).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the information provided.
• Filing timeliness: Form 4 was filed on 2026-06-09 (appears late; Form 4s are generally due within 2 business days of the transaction).

Context
The J code covers acquisitions or dispositions that don’t fit standard codes; fractional-share purchases like this are often due to dividend reinvestment plans, adjustments, or similar corporate processes, but the filing gives no specific reason. Small insider purchases can be of interest to investors, though their informational value depends on size and context.
