Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-01; Form 4 filed 2026-09-03 (appears timely).
• Open-market sales: 11,880 shares sold for ~$439,201 (weighted average prices reported in the $36.18–$37.41 ranges across transactions).
• Tax withholding / net settlement: 11,692 RSU shares withheld by the issuer to satisfy tax obligations, valued at $435,059 (footnote clarifies this is not a sale by the reporting person).
• Plan and security type: Sales were effected under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan established March 6, 2026; several shares were RSUs (each RSU converts to one share subject to vesting).
• Ownership after transaction: Not specified in the summary data provided on this Form 4.
• Related holdings: Some shares/vehicles referenced are held in trusts (Flat Tops 2024 Trust, Flat Tops Ventures, and family trust arrangements) as noted in the filing footnotes.

Context

• These actions are dispositions (sales and net RSU settlement), not purchases; sales are common for tax withholding on vested awards and routine plan-based selling. The 10b5-1 plan indicates the open-market sales were pre-arranged, which reduces the implication that trades were timed by non-public information.
• For RSU-related entries: the issuer withheld shares to cover taxes (a net settlement), which is an administrative transaction rather than an open-market sale by the executive.
