Key Details

  • Open-market sale: 2,900 sh @ $60.74 on 2026-02-02 — proceeds $176,146.
  • Tax withholding: 1,585 sh surrendered @ $60.76 on 2026-02-02 — value $96,305 (to cover tax liability).
  • 401(k) acquisition: 535 sh @ $61.96 on 2025-12-31 — value $33,149 (footnote: salary redirection/dividend reinvestment in 401(k)).
  • Awards/grants: 2,047 sh (2026-02-02) and 2,600 sh (2026-02-03) granted at $0.00 (likely restricted stock/award grants).
  • Filing: Form 4 filed 2026-02-04 covering transactions dated 2025-12-31 and 2026-02-02/03. The 12/31/2025 acquisition was reported on 2/4/2026, which is later than the typical 2-business-day Form 4 reporting window.
  • Shares owned after these transactions: not specified in the provided excerpt — see the full Form 4 for holdings.

Context

  • The 1,585-share disposition labeled as a tax payment indicates shares were surrendered to cover withholding — this is not an open-market sale for cash.
  • The grants at $0.00 are awards (compensation), not purchases; they increase her potential ownership but may be subject to vesting.
  • Open-market sales are routine insider transactions and do not by themselves indicate management sentiment; the filing simply reports the activity.
