  • To satisfy tax withholding obligations, 15,590 of the newly issued shares were surrendered to the company at $19.35 per share, representing about $301,667. After withholding, roughly 459,260 shares were delivered to Bednar.

Key Details

  • Transaction date: 2026-02-24; Filing date: 2026-02-26 (filed within the usual two-business-day Form 4 window).
  • Reported transactions: conversion/exercise of derivative (code M) for 474,850 shares @ $0.00 (vesting/conversion of PSUs); disposition for tax withholding (code F) of 15,590 shares @ $19.35 ($301,667).
  • Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided excerpt of the filing.
  • Footnotes of note:
    • F1: The 15,590-share disposition represents withholding to satisfy tax obligations.
    • F2–F4: Each PSU converts to one share; these PSUs were granted 2/24/2023 and vested on 2/24/2026 after meeting service and stock-price performance conditions (price hurdles at $15/$20/$25/$30 measured over 20 of 30 trading days, with service-based vesting installments and holdback rules).

Context

  • This was not an open-market sale for diversification or cash proceeds; it was a common cashless-like withholding to cover taxes when performance awards vested. Such withholding is routine and does not necessarily indicate a change in the insider’s view of the company.
  • For retail investors, purchases (out-of-pocket buys) are more informative as bullish signals; this filing documents a vesting event and tax withholding.
