Key Details
- Transaction dates: exercises/conversions and tax withholding/settlements on 2026-01-17; grants on 2026-01-19. Filing date: 2026-01-21.
- Prices/values: tax-withheld 1,595 shares at $7.33 = $11,691; disposition to issuer 1,221 shares at $7.33 = $8,950. Some derivative exercises are reported with $0 per share (typical for conversions/phantom settlements).
- Shares owned after these transactions: not specified in the provided filing details.
- Notable footnotes:
- RSUs = contingent right to one common share upon vesting (F1, F5, F7).
- Shares were withheld to satisfy tax obligations from RSU vesting (F2).
- Phantom shares are cash-settled rights equal to the economic value of one share; settlement is reported as acquisition of underlying shares and simultaneous sale back to the company for cash (F4, F6, F8, F9).
- Grants dated Jan 19 vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date (F5, F6, F7, F9).
- Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative; F = tax withholding; D = disposition to issuer (cash settlement); A = award/grant.
Context
- This was largely administrative: conversion/exercise of derivative awards and tax withholding/cash settlement of phantom units and RSUs, followed by new RSU/phantom grants. The disposals appear to be internal/cash-settlement and tax-related rather than open-market sales; such transactions typically reflect routine vesting and settlement rather than an outright market sale or independent buy signal.
