Key Details

  • Transaction breakdown:
    • 1,808 shares withheld @ $8.05 = $14,554 (tax withholding)
    • 1,573 shares withheld @ $8.05 = $12,663 (tax withholding)

    • 5,000 shares sold open market @ $8.10 = $40,477 (disposed)
  • Total shares disposed: 14,231; total proceeds: $114,787.
  • Footnotes: issuer withheld shares to cover tax obligations on previously reported RSUs (F1); the open-market sale was effected under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan primarily to cover taxes (F2); weighted-average sale prices for multiple trades ranged $8.025–$8.195 and the filer will provide per-price details on request (F3).
  • Filing timeliness: Transaction dated May 15, 2026; Form 4 filed May 19, 2026 — appears to be timely (filed within the two business-day SEC window).

Context

  • These were dispositions, not purchases. The majority (9,231 shares) were shares withheld by the issuer to satisfy tax-withholding obligations when RSUs vested (a routine administrative step). The 5,000-share sale was carried out under a pre-established Rule 10b5-1 plan, which typically indicates the trades were scheduled in advance and are not necessarily a contemporaneous signal of the insider’s view. Shares owned after the transactions were not provided in the excerpt of the filing.
