Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-02-12; Form 4 filed 2026-02-13 (appears timely).
- Sales: 1,500 shares @ $417.16 = $625,740; 4,549 shares @ $417.42 = $1,898,844. Total sold = 6,049 shares; total proceeds ≈ $2,524,584.
- Exercise: 1,500 shares exercised @ $108.72 = $163,080 cash paid to acquire shares (footnote F2: exercise of a derivative security).

- Shares owned after the transactions: not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
- No indication in the filing that this was a late report.
Context
- Because Schwar exercised options and sold shares on the same day, this resembles a cashless exercise (exercise followed by immediate sale) — a common way to cover the exercise cost and tax withholding. The Form 4 line showing 1,500 shares "Disposed" with N/A price often reflects shares applied to satisfy withholding or broker settlement; the filing’s footnotes identify the activity as an option exercise.
- These transactions are sales by an insider (typically considered routine); purchases generally carry more weight as signals of insider confidence. The report is factual and does not indicate motivation.
