Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-03-04; Form 4 filed: 2026-03-06 (timely filing, two days after the transaction).
- Awarded shares: 14,200; 3,305; and 20,880 (total 38,385). Withheld/disposed shares for taxes: 6,354 at $362.35 ($2,302,372).
- Footnotes of note:
- F1: Some shares are PSUs from a 2023 grant, which vested after performance criteria were met and will be settled in shares (includes dividend equivalents); no further service-based vesting required.
- F3: The 6,354-share disposition reflects withholding of shares under the company equity plan to satisfy tax withholding on PSU release.
- F4: Some awarded shares represent restricted stock subject to service-based vesting to be released three years after grant.
- F2/F5: Filing includes a correction of a prior reporting math error and 401(k) share activity since the last report.
- Shares owned after the transactions: not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
Context
- The 6,354-share action was a tax-withholding withholding (common when PSUs or restricted shares are settled) rather than an open-market sale; this is typically administrative and not a straightforward bearish signal.
- PSUs were settled following achievement of performance criteria; restricted stock will vest later per plan terms.
