Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-05-29 (filed on 2026-06-02; filing appears timely).
- Acquisition: 1,358 shares at $15.46/share = $20,997 (code A — award/grant or other acquisition).
- Tax withholding: 94 shares forfeited at $19.15/share = ~$1,800 (code F — tax withholding; per footnote this is not a sale).
- Shares owned after the transaction: not disclosed in the provided data.
- Footnotes: F1 — shares purchased via the Issuer's ESPP; F2 — the forfeiture to satisfy tax withholding does not constitute a sale under the ESPP.
Context
- This was an ESPP purchase (a routine employee purchase), which is generally treated as an acquisition rather than an open-market buy. The forfeiture of shares to cover taxes is common in ESPP transactions and is not treated as a market sale.
- For retail investors, purchases via ESPPs can signal routine employee participation rather than a directional bet; the amounts here are modest (~$21k acquired).
