Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-14; Form 4 filed: 2026-09-16 (timely filing).
• Shares withheld/disposed: 119 at $10.31 — total ≈ $1,227.

Context
Tax-withholding via share withholding is a routine administrative transaction when RSUs vest and does not by itself indicate insider buying or selling sentiment. Code F transactions typically represent net share settlement to cover taxes (a form of cashless settlement), not discretionary sales. The filing appears timely, and the dollar value of this withholding is small relative to typical executive holdings.
