Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-01-12
• Price per share: $66.84; Shares acquired: 207.081; Reported value: ~$13,841
• Transaction type/code: Other acquisition (J); classified as a derivative transaction
• Footnote: F1 — Dividend Reinvestment (shares were issued/purchased through a dividend reinvestment plan)
• Filing date: 2026-02-04 — filed more than the typical 2 business days after the transaction (appears late)
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided report

Context

• This was a dividend reinvestment (automatic use of dividends to buy additional shares), a routine way insiders can increase holdings that does not necessarily signal a change in view. It differs from an open-market buy (active purchase) or option exercise. Because the filing was submitted weeks after the trade date, investors may note the late filing but should consider the transaction type (reinvestment) as routine.
