Key Details
- Transaction date: April 30, 2026; Form 4 filed May 4, 2026.
- Conversion: 2,714 RSUs converted to common stock (coded M — exercise/conversion of derivative) at $0 per share.
- Withholding: 1,241 shares surrendered (coded F) at $40.93 per share = $50,794 to cover taxes.

- Footnotes: F1 indicates shares were surrendered to cover withholding tax; F2 shows a 1-for-1 conversion; F3 states the RSUs were part of a 10,856 RSU grant (6/26/2025) vesting in four equal annual installments beginning Apr 30 after grant.

Context
- This was an RSU vesting/conversion event, not an open-market purchase or discretionary sale. Surrendering shares to cover taxes is a routine administrative step (a form of cashless settlement) and does not necessarily indicate the insider is reducing exposure beyond required withholding.
- The filing records conversion and withholding; it does not reflect a market sale for investment proceeds.
