To satisfy tax withholding, 4,666 of those shares were withheld at $46.98/share for a cash value of $219,209. The net shares issued to the reporting person were 6,881 (11,547 vested − 4,666 withheld).
  • Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of a derivative (here, RSU settlement); F = shares withheld to pay tax obligations. No cash purchase or open-market sale was reported.

Key Details

  • Transaction date: March 1, 2026; Form 4 filed March 3, 2026 (appears timely).
  • Withholding price: $46.98 per share; withholding value: $219,209 for 4,666 shares.
  • Gross shares vested/converted: 11,547; shares withheld for taxes: 4,666; net shares received: 6,881.
  • Footnotes indicate these shares come from multiple RSU grants with various quarterly vesting schedules (see F2–F8); each RSU represents a right to one share.
  • Shares owned after the transaction are not specified in the provided filing.

Context

  • This was a routine RSU vesting and settlement, not an open-market purchase or discretionary sale. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is common and is similar to a cashless settlement — it does not necessarily indicate a bullish or bearish view by the insider.
  • For retail investors: purchases are often more informative as signals; here the insider received shares via vesting and paid taxes by withholding shares, which is administrative rather than directional trading.
