Key Details

  • Transaction dates and prices:
    • 2026-02-27: Sale of 7,461 shares @ $13.84 (weighted avg; trades ranged $13.79–$13.91) — $103,257 (F2).
    • 2026-02-28: Acquisition (vesting) of 12,992 performance RSUs @ $0.00 (F3).

  • Total sold: 10,733 shares for ~$146,864; total acquired via vesting: 12,992 RSUs.
  • Footnotes:
    • F1: The 7,461-share sale was mandated to cover tax withholding tied to the RSU vesting (a required "sell-to-cover"), not a discretionary trade.
    • F2/F4: Reported sale prices are weighted averages from multiple trades.
    • F3: The 12,992 shares represent vesting of performance-based restricted stock units.
  • Shares owned after the transactions: not specified in the provided excerpt.
  • Filing: Form 4 filed 2026-03-03; no indication in the filing excerpt that the report was late.

Context

  • Vesting of RSUs is compensation-related (an acquisition on Form 4) and the sell-to-cover is a common, issuer-mandated way to satisfy tax withholding; such mandated sales do not necessarily indicate a selling decision by the insider. The separate 3/2 sale appears to be an open-market disposal reported on the Form 4.
