On March 16, 2026 he sold 4,872 shares in the open market at $80.82 per share for reported proceeds of $393,774.

Key Details

  • Transactions: 15,552 shares vested (award/acquisition) on 2026-03-14 @ $0.00; 4,872 shares sold (open market) on 2026-03-16 @ $80.82 (reported proceeds $393,774).
  • Ownership after transactions: reporting person beneficially owns 41,410 shares of common stock and 7,327 restricted stock units (RSUs).
  • RSU vesting schedule (per filing): 1,406 RSUs vest on 3/19/2026 and 3/19/2027 (evenly), 1,500 RSUs vest evenly on 3/12/2027 and 3/12/2028, and 4,421 RSUs vest evenly on 3/12/2027, 3/12/2028 and 3/12/2029—vesting assumes continued employment.
  • Footnotes: The 15,552 shares reflect performance share awards granted in 2023 at target of 7,776 shares that vested at the 200% performance level for fiscal 2025. The March 16 sale was a broker-assisted sale to satisfy tax-withholding obligations upon vesting and was not a discretionary sale by the reporting person.

Context

  • The vesting was the result of achievement of performance goals (certified at the maximum 200% level) rather than a cash purchase. The subsequent broker-assisted sale was used to cover required tax withholdings—a common administrative step that does not necessarily signal a change in the insider’s view on the company.
