The shares were recorded at $27.64 each, for a total value of about $2,184.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-03; filing date (Form 4): 2026-09-08.
• Shares acquired: 79 at $27.64 per share; total value ≈ $2,184.
• Transaction type: Award/acquisition (A) — dividend equivalents on prior RSUs (footnote: exempt dividend equivalents).
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the filing.
• Timeliness: The Form 4 was filed five days after the reported transaction date; Form 4s are typically due within two business days, so this filing appears late.

Context

• These shares arose from dividend equivalents tied to earlier RSU grants, a common non-cash way companies pay dividends to holders of restricted awards. Such awards are routine compensation-related events and do not by themselves indicate the insider’s sentiment about the company’s stock.
