Key Details
- Transaction dates and prices:
- 2026-02-27: 7,849 shares withheld at $28.17 per share; total value $221,106 (code F — payment of tax liability).
- 2026-03-02: 29,287 shares granted/awarded at $0.00 (code A — award/grant).
- Shares owned after the transactions: not specified in the Form 4 filing.
- Footnotes/transaction codes: A = award/grant; F = payment of exercise price or tax liability (share withholding). This appears to be withholding to cover taxes on an equity award rather than a market sale.
- Filing timeliness: the filing (accession 0001646563-26-000002) does not indicate a late-filing flag in the provided data.
Context
- Share withholding to cover taxes is routine when equity awards vest and does not necessarily signal insider sentiment; it is an administrative disposition rather than a deliberate sale. The award (reported at $0.00) is consistent with a compensation grant such as RSUs or similar equity-based pay.
