Key Details

• Transaction date: February 12, 2026; Form 4 filed February 17, 2026 (appears to be a late filing relative to the 2-business-day rule).
• Award: 2,523 PSUs vested (each convertible to one share) — reported as acquisition at $0.00.
• Tax withholding: 802 shares withheld at $79.20/share → $63,518 withheld to cover tax obligations.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the information provided in this summary/form.
• Footnotes: PSUs were granted 3/1/2023 and vested 2/12/2026 after committee certification; withholding was to satisfy tax obligations (cashless withholding).
• Filing timeliness: Filing covers activity on Feb 12 but was filed on Feb 17; late filings can be administrative oversights but are worth noting.

Context

• This was not an open-market sale or purchase — it was the routine vesting of performance-based equity and the company withholding shares to pay taxes. Withholding of shares for taxes (cashless settlement) is common and shouldn’t be interpreted as a directional market bet by the insider.
• For retail investors, awards/vests show executive compensation being realized but don’t necessarily signal bullish or bearish views; purchases are typically more indicative of insider confidence.
