Key Details
- Transaction dates: Feb 16, 2026 and Feb 17, 2026. Filing date: Feb 18, 2026 (filed promptly).
- Exercise/Conversion: 12,820; 35,854; 15,591 TRSUs converted to common stock at $0.00 exercise price (these are RSU conversions, not option purchases).
- Tax withholding: 3,826 shares @ $4.70 = $17,982; 12,178 shares @ $4.70 = $57,237; 4,653 shares @ $4.67 = $21,730. Total withheld ≈ $96,949.

- Footnotes: F1/F2 — withholding calculated using closing stock prices (Feb 13 and Feb 17, 2026). F3/F4/F6 — each TRSU converts 1:1 to common stock; TRSUs vest ratably per grant schedules (one‑third annual tranches or two incremental tranches for transition awards).
- Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (TRSU conversion); F = shares withheld for tax payment.
Context
- These transactions are routine vesting and tax withholding events (RSU conversion and cashless tax withholding), not open‑market purchases or sales. Such withholdings are common and do not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment.
- The filing appears timely (reported within two business days of the transactions).
