Key Details
- Transaction date: June 5, 2026; Form filed June 9, 2026 (filing appears timely).
- Exercise: 11,000 shares acquired at $22.83 each = $251,130.
- Sales (total sold = 11,000 shares; total proceeds ≈ $2,389,328):
- 3,016 shares sold at weighted avg $216.06 (range $215.61–$216.605) — proceeds ≈ $651,646. (F1)
- 4,694 shares sold at weighted avg $217.30 (range $216.75–$217.74) — proceeds ≈ $1,020,023. (F2)

- 116 shares sold at $218.81 — proceeds ≈ $25,383.
- Additional line in the filing reports a derivative conversion of 11,000 shares at $0.00 (reported as disposed); footnote F4 indicates the option shares are fully exercisable. The filing does not specify the insider’s post‑transaction holdings in the provided excerpt.
Context
- When an insider exercises options and immediately sells shares, it often functions like a cashless exercise (options converted to shares and proceeds used to cover exercise cost/taxes). This filing shows exercise and same‑day sales, but the Form 4 is a record of transactions only and does not state the insider’s motivation.
- Footnotes detail that several sale prices are weighted averages across multiple transactions; the filer will provide transaction‑by‑transaction prices on request.
