Key Details
- Transaction date: May 1, 2026; Form 4 filed May 5, 2026 (filed within the two-business-day window).
- RSUs settled: 248 + 302 + 331 = 881 shares were converted into Class A common stock (codes M; footnotes F1, F3, F4).
- Tax withholding: 325.968 shares were withheld/disposed at $221.20 per share for a total of $72,104 (code F; footnote F5).
- Net shares issued to Bowen from this settlement: approximately 555.032 shares (881 issued minus 325.968 withheld).

- Filing appears timely (no late filing flag reported in the provided data).
Context
- This was not an open-market buy or sale indicating directional sentiment; it was routine RSU settlement with shares withheld to satisfy tax obligations (a common cashless/tax-withholding practice).
- For retail investors, these transactions mainly show executive compensation vesting rather than a discretionary purchase or sale; the tax-withholding disposition should not be read as a sale for investment reasons.
