Key Details

- 7,603 RSUs @ $128.24 = $975,009 (non‑derivative RSU award).
- 8,871 performance stock units (PSUs) @ $128.24 = $1,137,617 (derivative).

- Shares owned after the transaction: total balance after these grants is not explicitly stated in the filing; footnote notes 297 shares acquired previously through the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) are included in the balance.
- Footnotes of note:
- F1: RSUs vest 25% annually on Feb 15 of 2027, 2028, 2029, and 2030, subject to continued service.
- F3: One PSU award vests Dec 31, 2028 and pays 0%–250% of target based on 3‑year average consolidated non‑GAAP EPS growth (fiscal 2026–2028).
- F4: The other PSU award vests Dec 31, 2028 and pays 0%–250% of target based on relative total shareholder return for fiscal 2028.
Context
- RSUs are time‑based compensation that convert to shares if the executive remains employed through vesting dates (routine retention tool).
- The PSUs are performance‑contingent derivatives: they do not guarantee a fixed number of shares — final payout can range from 0% to 250% of target depending on company performance metrics measured through 2028.
- These awards represent compensation rather than an insider buying stock on the open market; they are common for executive pay and not a direct trading signal.
