The shares were reported disposed at $46.12 each for a total of approximately $46,996 on January 31, 2026. This transaction is a tax-withholding disposition (code F), not an open-market sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-01-31; price reported: $46.12 per share
• Shares disposed: 1,019; proceeds/withholding value: ~$46,996
• Transaction type/code: F — Payment of exercise price or tax liability (shares withheld to cover taxes)
• Filing date (Form 4): 2026-02-03 (no late-filing flag provided in the data shown)
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the excerpt provided — see the full Form 4 for total post-transaction holdings

Context

• Tax-withholding disposals are routine administrative actions when insiders exercise options or receive awards; they reflect income tax payment rather than a directional bet on the stock. This is not the same as an open-market sale, so it conveys less about the CEO’s view of the company’s prospects.
