  • Exercise/conversion: 4,619 shares (derivative conversion/exercise).
  • Awards/grants: 815 RSUs and 22,124 PSUs reported as acquired/awarded.

  • Net shares received (approx): 27,558 gross − 1,874 withheld = 25,684 shares.
  • Footnotes of note:
    • RSUs settled upon vesting; each RSU equals one share (no sale by the reporting person).
    • PSUs granted Feb 6, 2025 partially vested per the Compensation Committee’s determination (performance-based).
    • Withheld shares represent tax withholding, not open-market sales.
  • Shares owned after the transaction: Not specified in the filing.
  • Filing timeliness: Form filed Feb 9, 2026; this appears to be within the two-business-day window and thus timely.

Context

  • These transactions reflect compensation-related vesting and derivative conversion/settlement rather than an open-market purchase or deliberate sale; withheld shares were used to satisfy tax obligations (common in net share settlement). Performance Stock Units (PSUs) vested only to the extent performance goals were met, per the footnotes. Such insider award vesting is routine compensation and should not be taken alone as a buy/sell signal.
