Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-03-12; filing date: 2026-03-13 (timely).
- Exercise (code M): 7,000 shares at $49.62 each — total exercised cost $347,340.
- Sale (code S): 7,000 shares at weighted-average $100.58 each — total proceeds $704,074.

Context
- Because the shares were exercised and sold the same day, this is effectively a cashless exercise (options exercised and shares immediately sold to cover cost/taxes or realize gains).
- Director sales can be routine (liquidity, tax obligations, planned sales) and do not by themselves indicate company performance expectations. This summary is factual and does not speculate on motives.
