Key Details

  • Transaction dates and prices: 2026-03-14 — 2,418 shares @ $64.72; 2026-03-15 — 2,056 shares @ $64.72.
  • Total shares withheld: 4,474; total value ≈ $289,557.
  • Transaction code: F — shares withheld for taxes upon vesting (per footnote F1).
  • Holdings notes: filing footnotes reference inclusion of Restricted Stock Units (e.g., 266,208 RSUs and 262,457 RSUs) and certain shares held in irrevocable trusts for beneficiaries (footnotes F2–F6).
  • Filing: Form 4 was filed on 2026-03-17 reporting the March 14–15 transactions; the filing does not indicate a trading plan (e.g., 10b5-1) or that this was a market sale.

Context
This was a tax-withholding event associated with RSU vesting (common executive compensation handling). It is a routine administrative disposition — not an opportunistic open-market sale — and does not by itself indicate the insider’s market view. For derivative or option exercises, note whether shares are immediately sold; in this case the shares were surrendered to cover tax withholding, effectively a cashless settlement of withholding obligations.
