Key Details
- Transaction dates and prices:
- 2026-02-27: 459,495 shares disposed at $28.17 (F — tax withholding) — $12,943,974 total.
- 2026-03-02: 156,195 shares acquired at $0.00 (A — award/grant).
- Shares owned after the transactions: not specified in the filing.
- Footnotes/meaning:
- F = payment of exercise price or tax liability (commonly a tax-withholding sale tied to option exercise or vesting).
- A = grant, award or other acquisition (shares issued/vested).
- Filing timeliness: Form 4 filed 2026-03-03 for transactions on 2026-02-27 and 2026-03-02 — filing appears timely (within required reporting window).
Context
- The disposal was a tax-withholding event rather than an open-market sale; these are routine when shares vest or options are exercised and do not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment. The separate grant shows new shares were issued/vested to the CFO (acquired at $0), and the withheld shares covered tax obligations.
