Key Details

  • Transaction dates and codes:
    • 2026-02-03: Award/vesting (Code A) — 2,961 shares (PSU vesting) and 3,693 RSU units recorded (derivative).
    • 2026-02-03: Tax withholding (Code F) — 976 shares disposed at $87.16 for $85,068.
    • 2026-02-04: Exercise/conversion (Code M) — 1,155 shares acquired; related derivative entries also reported.
    • 2026-02-04: Tax withholding (Code F) — 349 shares disposed at $90.37 for $31,539.
  • Proceeds from withheld shares: $85,068 + $31,539 = $116,607.
  • Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing.
  • Footnotes of note:
    • RSUs convert one-for-one into common stock and include dividend equivalents (F1).
    • RSUs vest in three substantially equal annual installments; the RSUs granted Feb 4, 2025 had their first installment vest on the transaction date (F2, F3).
    • The 2,961 shares reflect PSUs from a Feb 7, 2023 award that vested at 82% of target after the 3-year performance cycle (F4).
  • Timeliness: Filing dated Feb 5, 2026 covering Feb 3–4 transactions — appears timely (Form 4 is due within 2 business days).

Context

  • These filings reflect vesting/settlement of PSUs and RSUs and the conversion/exercise of derivative awards, not an open-market purchase or sale for investment purposes. The disposals here were tax-withholding (Code F), a routine mechanism where the company withholds shares to cover required taxes rather than paying cash.
  • For retail investors: award vesting and conversions increase insider holdings (after withholding), but such awards are typically pre-set compensation events tied to service and performance metrics (here, PSUs certified at 82% of target).
