  • F2: 884 shares resulted from vesting of a Performance RSU award originally granted 2/13/2022.
  • F3: 263 shares surrendered to pay tax liability from the vesting of the 2022 Performance RSU award.
• Filing timeliness: Report filed 2026-02-18 for a 2026-02-13 transaction. Because Feb 16 was a federal holiday, the two-business-day filing deadline would have been 2026-02-17; the Form 4 appears to have been filed one business day late.

Context

• These transactions are compensation-related (RSU grant and vesting), not open-market purchases or sales driven by investment decisions. Grants vest over time and thus do not reflect an immediate market bet.
• The 263-share disposition is a common tax-withholding (net settlement) to satisfy payroll/tax obligations when RSUs vest; it’s not a discretionary sale of additional shares.
• For retail investors, compensation awards signal executive alignment with company performance but do not alone indicate positive or negative trading intent.
