On 2026-06-10, 11,805 shares were withheld by the issuer to satisfy tax-withholding on RSU vesting (valued at $2,805,812). On 2026-06-11 he sold 40,000 shares in open-market trades for aggregate proceeds of $9,979,283 (various execution prices listed below).

- Open-market sales: 40,000 shares, weighted-average prices per reported lots, aggregate proceeds $9,979,283.
- Tax-withheld shares: 11,805 shares withheld at $237.68 each, value $2,805,812 (to satisfy tax obligations on RSU settlement).
- Total shares disposed in this filing: 51,805; total value ≈ $12,785,095.
- Multiple-trade note: Several sale lots were executed in multiple trades at price ranges (see footnotes F3–F13); the filing reports weighted-average prices and the filer offers to provide detailed trade breakdowns on request.
- 10b5-1 plan: The sales were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person on January 12, 2026 (footnote F2).

Context
- The 11,805-share item is a tax-withholding (F) related to RSU vesting/settlement (a cashless-like transaction where the issuer withholds shares to cover taxes), not an independent sale for proceeds to the insider.
- The 40,000-share sales (S) were executed under a pre-established 10b5-1 plan, which typically indicates pre-planned, automated selling rather than ad-hoc insider trading based on contemporaneous nonpublic information.
- For retail investors: purchases by insiders are generally more informative about confidence; sales often represent liquidity needs, tax obligations, or pre-planned dispositions — this filing contains both a tax-related withholding and 10b5-1 open-market sales.
