  • Reporting/filing: Form 4 filed 2026-06-17 (timely filing).
  • Trading plan: Sale pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan dated 07/01/2025 and modified 12/23/2025 (pre-arranged).

Context
Sales executed under 10b5-1 plans are typically pre-scheduled and do not necessarily reflect a manager’s current view of the company. The inclusion of unvested RSUs/PSUs in reported holdings can make beneficial ownership appear higher than vested common shares alone.
