Key Details

  • Transaction date: January 21, 2026; Form 4 filed January 23, 2026 (appears timely).
  • Acquired: 5,315 shares at $41.64 — total $221,317.
  • Disposed: 6,960 shares at $0.00 (derivative withholding/settlement).
  • Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in the provided excerpt.
  • Footnotes:
    • F1: Shares issued from restricted stock units (RSUs) that vested March 31, 2024 but were settled Jan 21, 2026; the issued amount was reduced per U.S. tax withholding rules.
    • F3: The RSUs originate from a March 31, 2022 grant (20,885 RSUs adjusted for a 5-for-1 split) with vesting in installments; this settlement covers the portion that vested in 2024.
    • F2: References RSUs from a share matching plan (noted in the filing).
  • Remarks note the company’s General Counsel is Mr. Ayyappan (administrative remark in filing).

Context
This was a derivative/RSU settlement and not an open-market buy or sale. The "disposed" line at $0.00 reflects shares withheld or surrendered to satisfy tax obligations on vesting, a common administrative step when RSUs are settled. Such transactions reflect compensation vesting rather than a directional bet on the stock.
