Key Details

• Transaction date: March 1, 2026; Form 4 filed March 3, 2026 (no late filing indicated).
• Main codes: A = Award/Grant, M = Exercise/Conversion of derivative, F = Payment of exercise price or tax liability (shares withheld).
• Shares awarded/received: 10,766 and 4,535 (total 15,301).
• Shares surrendered for tax withholding: 2,762 and 1,711 (total 4,473), reported value withheld = $374,211.
• Derivative activity: conversions/exercises reported for 3,836 shares (see filing).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in this Form 4.
• Footnotes: awards include settlement of PSUs (F1), RSU vesting and conversion one-for-one to common stock (F3–F5), and a detailed RSU vesting schedule through 2029 (F6). 249 RSUs from dividend reinvestment are included in the totals (F7).

Context

• These transactions are largely award/vesting events and routine tax-withholding (shares surrendered to the company to cover taxes), not open-market purchases or sales. Such share relinquishments are common when equity awards vest.
• For derivatives/RSU conversions: restricted stock units convert one-for-one into shares on vesting; the filing shows some converted/exercised awards and some remaining RSUs subject to future vesting dates per the schedule in the footnotes.
• No indication this is a purchase signal; the key takeaway for investors is that this was equity compensation settlement and tax withholding, not a discretionary sale into the market.
