What Happened

On May 9, 2026, 101 shares were disposed/withheld at $35.19 to satisfy a payment (total = $3,554) and 15 shares were recorded as acquired at $35.19 (dividend equivalents tied to a restricted award).

    • F5: A performance share award vests in five annual installments with cliff vesting on May 8, 2031 and is subject to FFO-based performance criteria.

Context

  • The 1,500-share entries are awards of restricted stock (one entry is designated derivative and may relate to performance-based/derivative awards subject to additional vesting/performance conditions). These awards are grants (code A) rather than open-market purchases, so they reflect compensation rather than a cash purchase signal.
  • The 101-share disposition is coded as an F transaction (payment of exercise price or tax liability) — a routine withholding/surrender to satisfy tax obligations, not an independent market sale for investment reasons.
  • For retail investors: awards and withholding for taxes are common for employee compensation. Purchases/exercises that are followed by immediate open-market sales would be more informative about sentiment; this filing shows awards and tax-related withholding rather than a discretionary sale.
