Key Details

  • Transaction date: 2026-02-15; filing date: 2026-02-17 (timely filing).
  • Price per share: $10.61; shares withheld: 4,679; total value: $49,644.
  • Transaction code: F (payment of exercise price or tax liability / shares withheld by issuer).
  • Footnote: Shares were withheld by the issuer to satisfy income tax withholding tied to vesting and net settlement of awards previously reported on a Form 4 — not a sale by the insider.
  • Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided summary.

Context This was a routine tax-withholding/net-settlement event tied to vested equity awards (often called a cashless or net-settlement), meaning the company retained shares to cover tax obligations rather than the insider selling shares on the open market. Such withholdings are administrative and do not necessarily indicate a change in the insider’s view of the company.
