Key Details
- Transaction dates: RSU settlement/conversion reported 2026-03-09; open-market sales reported 2026-03-10; Form 4 filed 2026-03-11 (timely).
- Prices and execution: sales executed in multiple trades — one tranche ranged $8.72–$9.03 (weighted avg $8.93), the other ranged $9.04–$9.90 (weighted avg $9.21).
- Shares sold: 963 and 964 shares (total 1,927) for $17,478 in proceeds.
- RSUs: 5,270 RSUs vested (footnote: vested March 7, 2026); a second installment will vest March 7, 2027.
- Footnotes of note: F1 explains each RSU converts to one share; F2 states the market sales were “sell-to-cover” to satisfy tax-withholding obligations (not discretionary trades); F3/F5 explain multi-trade price ranges and weighted averages; F4/F7 reference aggregate holdings disclosed in the filing (see Form 4 for exact totals).
- Timeliness: Filed March 11, 2026 for events on March 9–10 — appears timely under standard reporting rules.
Context
- These entries represent routine RSU settlement and sell-to-cover tax-withholding activity rather than an independent, discretionary sale. The derivative entries reflect conversion/settlement mechanics (exercise/conversion of RSUs); the separate open-market sales funded tax withholding.
- For retail investors: purchases are often more informative about insider sentiment. This filing documents a standard vesting and tax-related sale, not necessarily a signal about company outlook.
