- Ownership after transaction: not specified in this Form 4 filing.
- Footnotes of note:
- F1: Shares were surrendered to pay federal/state tax withholding obligations (i.e., share-for-tax withholding).
- F3/F4/F5/F6: These were restricted stock units (RSUs) / performance-based RSUs; some awards vested or were certified by the Compensation Committee (certification on Feb 3, 2026; footnotes note vesting schedule and that 100% vesting occurred on Feb 7, 2026).
- F2/F7: Reported share counts reflect a 5-for-1 stock split that occurred Dec 17, 2025.
- Timeliness: Form 4 filed Feb 10, 2026 for a Feb 6 transaction — filed within the required two business days (timely).
Context
- These transactions reflect the conversion/settlement of restricted stock units / performance-based RSUs, not open-market purchases or advisory/insider cash sales. The $0 exercise/conversion entries are typical when RSUs/PSUs convert to shares; the share surrenders labeled "F" represent withholding to cover tax obligations (a routine, non-market sale).
- Footnotes indicate some shares were from a performance-based tranche certified Feb 3, 2026 and that vesting rules and a recent 5-for-1 stock split affect reported counts.
- As of Feb 10, 2026 the reporting person ceased to be a Section 16 officer but remains an employee — filings after that date may be reported differently.
