Key Details

• Transaction date: August 21, 2026; Form 4 filed August 24, 2026.
• Shares sold: 20,748 (from net option exercise) + 233,473 (open-market) = 254,221 shares.
• Reported proceeds: ~$585,519 (20,748 @ $28.22) + ~$6,588,725 (233,473 @ $28.22) = ~$7,174,244.
• Option activity: Exercised 207,941 options on a net (cashless) basis; shares were withheld to cover exercise price, yielding 20,748 issued shares that were sold the same day. (Footnotes note an anti-dilution adjustment to the exercise price tied to a cash dividend.)
• Price details: $28.22 weighted average; individual trades ranged $28.115–$28.3915. Reporting person offers to provide per-trade breakdown on request.
• Shares owned after the transaction: Not specified in the filing.
• Insider status: Glickman is no longer an officer (stopped serving as CEO on July 1, 2026).

Context

• This was a sale combined with a cashless/net exercise of options — the filing shows the exercised options produced only 20,748 shares after withholding to cover the exercise cost, and those shares were sold immediately (common for option exercises used to capture value).
• Sales are not purchases and generally provide liquidity to the insider rather than signalling new confidence via insider buying.
• The filing does not indicate a Rule 10b5-1 plan or that the filing was materially late; it reports transactions on Aug 21 and was filed on Aug 24.
