Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-05-01; Filing date: 2026-05-05 (filing appears late relative to the usual Section 16 reporting window).
- Reported prices for tax-withheld shares: $12.80 per share (used to compute withholding values).
- Shares converted: 43,000 and 30,439 performance share units (total 73,439). Shares withheld for taxes: 20,718 and 14,671 (total 35,389).
- Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the filing.
- Footnotes: F1 — these were performance share units under the issuer’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (3-year performance period; vested per Compensation Committee certification); F2 — shares were withheld to pay tax liability (share withholding).
Context
- This was a vesting/conversion of performance share units (derivative conversion), not an open-market sale or purchase. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is a routine, non-market disposition (cashless settlement).
- For retail investors, such award vesting signals compensation realization but does not necessarily reflect a buy/sell decision by the insider. The late filing may be administratively notable but does not change the substance of the transaction.
