Key Details

  • Transaction dates and prices:
    • May 16, 2026 — 1,233 shares withheld at $141.09/share (tax withholding) = $173,964.
    • May 18, 2026 — 4,076 shares granted (RSUs), $0 reported (subject to vesting schedule).
    • May 19, 2026 — 1,048 shares withheld at $141.54/share (tax withholding) = $148,334.
    • May 20, 2026 — 13,544 shares acquired on PSU vesting; 6,892 shares withheld at $142.27/share (tax withholding) = $980,525.
  • Net counts: 17,620 shares acquired via awards/vesting; 9,173 shares withheld for taxes (total withheld ≈ $1.30M).
  • Shares owned after transaction: the filing states beneficial ownership was updated to include vested awards but excludes shares subject to further vesting; the exact total post-transaction holding is not listed in the summary provided.
  • Notable footnotes: Withholdings were routine to satisfy tax obligations on vested RSUs/PSUs (footnotes F1, F4, F6). The May 18 grants are time-based RSUs subject to three-year annual vesting (F2/F3). The May 20 acquisition resulted from PSU performance vesting (F5).
  • Filing timeliness: Report filed May 20, 2026 covering activity through May 20, 2026 — appears timely (no late filing indicated).

Context
These transactions are primarily equity awards vesting and employer tax-withholding (transaction code A = award/grant; F = payment of exercise price or tax liability). Withheld shares are not open-market sales but a common "sell to cover" mechanism to satisfy taxes on vesting. This is different from an executive buying or selling stock as a market signal; the material action here is receiving RSUs/PSUs and routine tax withholding.
