Bruehlman Ronald E 4

What Happened

To cover the tax liability on the vesting, 6,801 shares were withheld/surrendered at $187.49 per share, generating proceeds of $1,275,119.

Context

• These were vested performance RSUs (award, not an open-market purchase). The disposal was a tax-withholding/surrender of shares rather than a discretionary sale — a common, administrative practice when awards vest.
• For retail investors: awards signal compensation/retention mechanisms but do not directly indicate a manager's market view; tax-withholding disposals are routine and should be read differently than deliberate selling for cash.
