Key Details
- Transaction date: February 10, 2026; Form filed February 12, 2026 (timely filing).
- Items reported:
- A (acquisition): 2,524 shares from PSU vesting @ $0.00 (F1 — vesting certified by Compensation Committee).
- F (tax withholding/exempt disposition): 760 shares withheld/disposed @ $59.14 for tax withholding = $44,946 (F2 — exempt under Rule 16b-3(e)).
- A (derivative grant): 2,670 RSUs @ $0.00 (F3/F4 — each RSU = right to one share; vesting in three annual installments of 890 shares on Feb 10 of 2027, 2028 and 2029).
- Shares owned after the transaction: Not specified in the provided filing details.
- Footnotes: F1 = PSU vesting after meeting 3-year performance goals through 12/31/2025; F2 = shares withheld to cover taxes; F3 = RSU = contingent right to one share; F4 = RSU vest schedule (890/890/890).
Context
This activity is compensation-related (PSU vesting and RSU grant), not an open-market purchase or an investment sale. The 760-share disposition was a routine, exempt withholding to cover tax obligations rather than a market sale signaling a change in investment stance. RSUs are contingent awards that vest over time, so the 2,670 RSUs are not immediate free shares — they convert to shares per the schedule in footnote F4.
