Key Details
- Transaction date: June 30, 2026; Form 4 filed July 1, 2026 (timely filing).
- Vesting/conversion: 7,536 shares resulted from conversion/exercise of PSUs/RSUs (6,631 + 905).
- Tax withholding: 4,168 shares surrendered at $48.51 each for $202,190 (transaction code F — tax withholding).
- Net shares delivered: 3,368 shares retained by the insider from this vesting event.
- Footnotes: PSUs granted Nov 2, 2023 were converted to RSUs after performance conditions were approved May 27, 2026 and vested June 30, 2026 (1-for-1 conversion). Footnotes also note some other RSUs granted June 23, 2023 and that the reporting person owns a total of 33,779 RSUs as of this report.
- Nature: This was a vesting/tax-withholding event (not an open-market sale or purchase).
Context
- This is a routine equity compensation vesting event. The surrender of shares to cover taxes is common and does not indicate an open-market sale or trading decision by the insider. When PSUs/RSUs vest and shares are withheld for taxes, filings will show surrendered shares (code F) rather than a cash tax payment.
