Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-03-15; filing date: 2026-03-17 (Form 4 accession 0001071739-26-000063).
- Price: $34.45 per share; Shares disposed: 15,241; Total value: ~$525,052.
- Transaction code: F — shares withheld for taxes upon vesting of previously reported RSUs.
- Ownership after transaction: the filing notes reported ownership includes 448,650 previously‑granted RSUs and performance stock units (PSUs) reported at target; the filing excerpt provided does not list a total common-share count after this withholding.
- Not marked late in the provided data; filing date is within the typical 2-business-day Form 4 window (no late-filing flag shown).
Context
- Tax-withholding dispositions (code F) are common when RSUs vest and usually reflect tax withholding rather than a deliberate directional trade. They generally do not signal the insider’s broader view of the company.
- Separate footnote (F3) notes a 2021 performance stock option grant that becomes exercisable only if specified price/vesting conditions are met; this was not the transaction here.
