    • F5: 28,380 RSUs granted 3/7/2026, vesting over three years.
    • F6: 85,141 PSUs granted 3/7/2026 are target amounts; final payout may be 0%–200% based on performance through 2028.

Context

  • This filing appears to reflect routine equity compensation activity: vesting/conversion of prior awards, withholding of a portion of vested shares to cover taxes, and receipt of new time‑based RSUs and performance PSUs. The only shares disposed were withheld for taxes (not an open‑market sale), and the PSUs are performance‑contingent (payout may vary from 0–200% of target).
