    • F2: Restricted stock units convert to one share each at settlement and vest ratably over three years (annual anniversaries beginning March 1, 2026).

Context

  • This pattern—conversion of awards followed by a small share disposition for tax withholding—is common when equity awards vest or are settled; the sale appears limited to tax withholding rather than an open-market sale for investment purposes.
  • The awards include performance-based rights (with variable payout 0–200% depending on results) and time-based RSUs; performance rights' final payout depends on future multi-year performance metrics and may be paid in cash or shares.
