- Sale date/price/value: April 27, 2026 — 23,796 shares sold at $63.66 each, proceeds $1,514,853.

Context
- These were performance-based RSUs that vested after the company’s Compensation Committee certified achievement of performance conditions; the award is an acquisition via vesting (not an open-market purchase).
- The subsequent sale was a tax-withholding sale (common when restricted shares vest) and should not be interpreted on its own as a directional signal about the insider’s view of the stock.
