Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-04-01; Form 4 filed: 2026-04-03 (filed timely).
- Conversion entries: two "M" codes (exercise/conversion of derivative) for 1,250 shares each (aggregate 2,500).
- Tax withholding: "F" code — 98 shares surrendered at $24.86/share for $2,436.
- Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in the Form 4.
- Footnotes: Each RSU represents a contingent right to one common share. Vesting is subject to continued service and occurs quarterly per the issuer’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (1/16th on each Quarterly Vesting Date as defined).
Context
- This was RSU vesting/conversion (an award becoming stock), not an open-market purchase or a deliberate sale. The only disposition was the routine share withholding to cover taxes.
- For retail investors: awards/vests increase insider ownership but do not directly signal buying conviction like open-market purchases. This filing appears routine and was reported within the normal Form 4 window.
