Key Details
- Transaction dates and amounts:
- 2026-05-22: RSU settlement/conversion of 5,000 shares (derivative entry; $0 listed).

- Footnotes:
- F1: Each RSU converts to one share upon settlement for no consideration.
- F2: The 2,239-share sale was a "sell-to-cover" to satisfy tax withholding on the RSU settlement and was not a discretionary trade.
- F3: RSUs vest quarterly (1/16th each quarter) beginning Aug 22, 2024, subject to continued service.
- Filing/timeliness: Form lists a report period date of 2026-05-22 and was filed 2026-05-27. Form 4s are normally due within two business days of the transaction; the 5/22 settlement was reported one business day after that typical deadline.
Context
- This was not a market-timed purchase by the insider. It reflects RSU settlement (award conversion) followed by a routine sell-to-cover to pay taxes — a common, non-discretionary insider transaction. Such tax-withholding sales generally do not indicate a change in the insider's investment view.
