Key Details
- Transaction date: Feb 25, 2026; Form filed Feb 27, 2026 (timely).
- Purchase: 3,843 shares @ $68.81 = $264,437 (purchase price was based on NYSE close on Feb 24, 2026) — see F1, F2.
- Awards: 14,411 and 58,131 restricted share units reported as acquired at $0.00 (derivative awards). Each RSU represents a contingent right to one common share (F5).
- Vesting/performance notes from the filing:
- 2025‑1 PBRSUs: performance period Feb 28, 2025–Feb 28, 2028; if earned, vest Mar 15, 2028 (F10).
- 2025‑2 PBRSUs: performance period May 15, 2025–May 21, 2028; if earned, vest May 21, 2030 (F11).
- The filing also references matching 2026 RSUs from the Bonus Swap Program and multi‑year vesting schedules (F12, F13, F14).
- Ownership after transaction: not specified in the provided excerpt.
- Transaction code: A = Award/Grant/Acquisition (includes purchase under plan and RSU/PBRSU grants).
Context
- The purchase was made using bonus compensation (the Bonus Swap Program), which is a common executive compensation mechanism and is generally seen as a personal investment rather than an open‑market buy signal (F1, F12).
- The large RSU/PBRSU amounts are subject to time and/or performance vesting; they do not represent immediately tradable shares. For PBRSUs, final share delivery depends on meeting performance goals over multi‑year periods.
- No sale of shares was reported here; this filing reflects a purchase plus long‑term incentive awards.
