  • Footnotes: F1–F6 explain these are restricted stock units that convert to one share per vested RSU; F2 confirms shares were withheld to satisfy tax obligations; F3–F6 list prior RSU grants (2023–2025) that vest in annual installments and likely supplied vested shares.
  • Filing: Report filed Mar 12, 2026 for transactions through Mar 11, 2026 — appears timely (Form 4s are generally due within two business days).

Context
These entries reflect vesting/conversion of RSUs (derivative conversion, transaction code M) and the routine withholding of shares to cover tax obligations (transaction code F). This is not an open-market sale; withheld shares are a common cashless way to pay taxes when RSUs vest and do not by themselves indicate a change in insider sentiment.
