- Dates & prices: Apr 6 ($8.41), May 6 ($11.87), Jun 11 (weighted avg $5.12; block trades ranged $5.02–$5.19), Jul 8 ($4.97).
- Total shares disposed: 363 shares; total proceeds ≈ $2,821.
- Footnotes: F1/F2 confirm these were to satisfy tax withholding from RSU vesting; F3 notes the June block trades used a weighted average price and the filer can provide per-price breakdown on request.
- Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
- Filing timeliness: The Form 4 was filed on 2026-07-10 while the earliest reported transaction was 2026-04-06 — this appears late relative to the usual two-business-day reporting requirement and reduces near-term transparency.
Context
- These transactions are routine tax-withholding and sell-to-cover actions tied to RSU settlement (not discretionary open‑market purchases). Such transactions typically reflect standard compensation withholding rather than a voluntary sale for investment reasons.
