Key Details
- Transaction date: February 25, 2026 (Form 4/A filed April 6, 2026 to amend prior reporting).
- Purchase: 4,601 common shares at $68.81 each; total cash paid $316,595. The purchase price was based on the Feb 24, 2026 NYSE closing price per the plan.
- Awards: 15,928 RSUs and 47,958 performance-based RSUs (total 63,886 RSU/PBRSU units) reported as derivative grants (no cash price).
- Vesting/performance timing:
- Certain RSUs vest in equal annual installments with remaining vest dates on Dec 15 of 2026–2029 (per footnotes).

Context
- RSUs/PBRSUs are contingent awards that convert to common shares only if vesting and (for PBRSUs) performance conditions are met; they are not immediate open-market purchases.
- The cash purchase of shares is a direct insider buy (often viewed as a positive signal by some investors), while the RSUs and PBRSUs are compensation awards tied to service and performance.
- This filing is an amended Form 4 correcting prior reporting errors; review the full SEC filing for precise post-transaction holdings and any additional disclosures.
