Key Details
- Transaction dates and prices:
- 2026-02-06: 2,450 vested shares acquired (report shows $0.00 acquisition price for the derivative conversion).
- 2026-02-06: Tax withholding (share-for-tax) disposals of 597 shares ($142.78 per share; $85,240) and 781 shares ($142.78 per share; $111,511).

- Notable footnotes:
- F1: Vesting was the result of a three-year performance period (Feb 6, 2023–Feb 6, 2026); Dougherty’s target of 2,169 MSUs paid out at 113% (resulting in 2,450 vested shares).
- F2/F3: Withheld shares were not sold on the open market; they were retained by the company to satisfy tax withholding obligations. Each RSU is economically equivalent to one share.
- F5/F6: New 2026 awards vest on Feb 5, 2029 (100% vest date shown) or are performance-based MSUs (payable 0–200% based on TSR vs. Russell 3000).
- Filing timeliness: Report filed Feb 9, 2026 for transactions on Feb 5–6, 2026 (no late filing flag noted).
Context
- These were vesting/conversion events of restricted stock units (derivative-to-share conversions), not open-market purchases or sales. The tax withholding was handled via share withholding (a cashless method) rather than public sale of the shares.
- The new awards include time- and performance-based RSUs/MSUs; MSUs may pay out up to 200% depending on relative total shareholder return, so the final share count from those grants will depend on future performance.
