Specifically, the filing shows RSU grants of 2,630 shares on Feb 13, 2026 and another 2,630 RSUs on Feb 17, 2026 (acquired at $0.00).

Key Details
- Transactions and prices:
- Feb 13, 2026: Grant of 2,630 RSUs (price $0.00) — 1/4 of these RSUs are scheduled to vest on Feb 15, 2026 (see footnote).
- Feb 15, 2026: 482 shares withheld/disposed at $339.30 per share to satisfy tax withholding — total ≈ $163,543.
- Feb 17, 2026: Grant of 2,630 RSUs (price $0.00) with a standard annual 1/4 vesting starting Feb 15, 2027.
- Shares owned after the transactions: not specified in the provided excerpt of the filing.
- Notable footnotes:
- The Feb 13 RSUs vest 1/4 on Feb 15, 2026 and then annually through Feb 15, 2029, subject to continued service.
- The Feb 17 RSUs vest 1/4 annually beginning Feb 15, 2027.
- Both grants include an acceleration clause: any unvested RSUs will fully vest upon the Closing of the merger agreement with Boston Scientific, subject to continued service through the Closing.
- The Feb 15 disposition is a tax-withholding event (transaction code F).
- Filing date and timeliness: Form 4 was filed Feb 18, 2026 and covers transactions from Feb 13–17, 2026. That window may exceed the typical two-business-day Form 4 reporting expectation for the Feb 13 grant.
Context
- RSU grants are compensation awards that vest over time and do not represent open-market buying or selling by the insider; tax-withholding (F) transactions are routine when RSUs vest and shares are withheld to cover payroll/tax obligations.
- The presence of an acceleration-on-closing provision tied to the Boston Scientific merger means remaining unvested RSUs could vest if the merger closes, which is a common provision in M&A-related equity awards.
