Key Details
- Transaction date: May 26, 2026; Form 4 filed: July 15, 2026 (filing appears late — Form 4s are normally due within 2 business days).
- Acquired: 103,734 shares via conversion of PSUs (transaction code M).
- Disposed (to cover tax withholding): 30,782 shares @ $3.68 = $113,278 (transaction code F). Another Form 4 row shows the derivative conversion at $0 (accounting for the PSU-to-share conversion).
- Net new shares to insider: 72,952 (103,734 − 30,782).
- Footnotes: PSUs represent contingent rights to one share each (F1). Vesting occurred based on market-cap performance criteria (detailed performance vesting schedule) and 103,734 PSUs vested on May 26, 2026 (F2). Withholding was solely to cover taxes — no cash proceeds to the insider (F4). Form notes additional ESPP shares since prior filing (F3).
Context
- These were not open-market purchases or sales driven by trading decisions but the vesting/conversion of compensation PSUs; the disposed shares were surrendered solely for tax withholding (a routine administrative step).
- Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (PSU conversion), F = payment of exercise price or tax liability (share withholding).
- This filing documents compensation realization rather than an independent bullish/bearish trade by the insider.
