Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-08-20; Filing date: 2026-08-24 (filed within the typical 2-business-day Form 4 window).
• Prices: $31.92 per share for both withholdings.
• Shares withheld/Disposed: 1,190 and 751 (total 1,941). Total reported proceeds ≈ $61,957.
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in this filing.
• Footnote: F1 — the shares were withheld to cover the reporting person’s tax liability in connection with RSU vesting. (Transaction code F = tax withholding.)

Context
This was a standard "sell-to-cover" / withholding to satisfy tax obligations tied to RSU vesting, which is common and does not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment. For derivative-related filings like this, the key point is that shares were retained by the company/broker to cover taxes rather than an outright open-market sale by the insider.
