Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-07-01; 21 shares @ $1,161.11 per share (total ≈ $24,383).
• Filing date: 2026-07-06 — appears to be filed late (Form 4 is normally due within 2 business days of the transaction).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not stated in the filing.
• Footnote: Securities were acquired pursuant to the Director Share Purchase Program, i.e., Wagoner elected to receive part of his director fees in stock (Footnote F1).
• Transaction code: A = Grant/award/other acquisition (compensation-related).

Context This was a compensation-related stock award under a director plan (not an open-market purchase or sale). Such elections are routine for directors and reflect how fees are paid rather than a direct buy or sell based on company outlook. The late filing reduces the timeliness of the disclosure but does not change the nature of the transaction.
