  • F3: The 189 units are dividend equivalent rights on RSUs (each equals the economic value of one share).
• Filing timeliness: Form 4 filed 2026-08-04. The May 1 and June 30 transactions were reported after the typical two-business-day window and therefore appear late; the July 31 transaction was filed within the two-business-day window.

Context

• These were acquisitions/awards, not sales. ESPP purchases and dividend-equivalent credits are routine forms of employee ownership and are exempt under Rule 16b-3; they do not necessarily indicate a change in personal market view. Dividend-equivalent rights are cash/stock credits tied to RSUs rather than open-market purchases.
