What Happened

  • Following the vesting, 2,863 shares were sold in an open-market/block sale on May 18, 2026 at a weighted-average price of $9.89, generating proceeds of about $28,319. The sale was executed to satisfy tax-withholding obligations (a "sell-to-cover").

Context

  • These entries reflect RSU vesting and a routine sell-to-cover tax withholding, not an independent open-market purchase or a discretionary sell for investment reasons. The RSUs were converted at no cash cost and some of the resulting shares were sold immediately to pay taxes.
  • Sell-to-cover transactions are common when equity awards vest and do not necessarily signal the insider’s view on the company’s stock.
