Key Details
- Transaction date: March 15, 2026; Form 4 filed March 17, 2026 (appears timely).
- Disposals (tax withholding): 11,578 shares sold/withheld at $150.72 each; total proceeds $1,745,036 (breakdown: 769; 8,984; 300; 1,525 shares).
- Acquisitions/grants: 1,128 RSUs (A) and 3,050 SARs/derivative awards (A) reported at $0.00.

- Shares owned after the transactions: not specified in the provided data.
Context
- The disposals are coded "F" (shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding) — a common, routine event when equity awards vest, not an open-market sale for diversification or other reasons.
- The 3,050-share item is a derivative award (stock appreciation rights); these do not deliver stock immediately and vest according to future schedule (not an immediate sale or purchase).
- No indication in the filing of a 10b5-1 plan or other unusual trading program.
Bottom line: This filing mainly reflects routine tax-withholding sales tied to award vesting and new awards being recorded, not an independent open-market sell signal by the officer.
