What Happened

Key Details

  • Transaction date: March 10, 2026; Form 4 filed March 12, 2026 (timely filing).
  • Conversion (code M): 2,172 shares converted from RSU derivatives (no cash paid).
  • Tax/payment withholding (code F): 945 shares withheld at $334.17/share for $315,790 total.
  • Footnotes: Vesting reflects one-third settlements on each award (performance- and time-based RSUs) granted March 7, 2023; March 6, 2024; and March 4, 2025 — each converted one-for-one to common stock on the vesting date.
  • Shares owned after the transaction: not disclosed in the provided filing.

Context

  • These transactions are RSU vesting events (not open-market purchases or voluntary sales). The conversion of RSUs to shares and the share-withholding for taxes is a routine administrative settlement rather than an independent market buy/sell decision.
  • Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (here, RSU conversion); F = payment of tax liability via share withholding.
