Key Details

  • Transaction dates and types:
    • 2026-01-22: Tax withholding/disposition (Code F) — 1,085 shares withheld at $95.17; total value $103,259.
    • 2026-01-23: Grants/awards (Code A) — 11,076 RSUs; 3,461 target PSUs (derivative); 2,769 target MSUs (derivative).
  • Shares owned after the transactions: Not disclosed in the provided filing excerpt.
  • Notable footnotes:
    • F1: Shares were withheld to satisfy tax withholding on RSU vesting; withholding amount used the Jan 21, 2026 closing price.
    • F2: 11,076 RSUs — each RSU = right to one share upon settlement.
    • F3: 3,461 target PSUs — payout ranges from 0% to 200% of target based on 3-year total shareholder return (TSR); any earned amount above target is settled in cash rather than stock.
    • F4: 2,769 target MSUs — payout equals target units multiplied by a TSR-based factor over a 3-year period, capped at 200% of target.
  • Timeliness: Filing dated Jan 26, 2026 — appears timely (filed within the standard 2 business days after the reported transactions).

Context

  • The grants (RSUs, PSUs, MSUs) are part of Henke’s regular long-term incentive compensation and represent contingent rights to future shares based on vesting and performance metrics — not open-market purchases.
  • The withheld shares were used solely to cover tax obligations (a common administrative disposition), not an open-market sale to a third party.
  • PSUs and MSUs are performance-based/market-based long-term awards; actual shares received at settlement may differ from the target counts depending on future performance over the specified 3-year measurement periods.
