Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

Vesting aligns an executive with shareholder outcomes but includes significant tax withholdings.

The settlement of a 2022 performance unit grant converted deferred compensation into 15,489 shares on 10/03/2025, increasing the executive's direct holdings before withholdings. The reported price per share is $122.25, which is the transaction reporting reference.

Material dependencies include the number of remaining unvested awards and company compensation policies; monitor future Form 4s and grant disclosures over the next 12 months for additional vesting or sales activity.

Compensation & Tax Specialist

Share withholding for taxes reduced net share retention from the vesting event.

The company withheld 2,755 restricted shares and 7,436 performance shares to satisfy tax obligations, a common practice that converts part of equity compensation into tax payments. The net effect left 69,313 shares beneficially owned after the transactions, which includes 739 shares from dividend reinvestment.

Watch for future disclosures on tax-withholding methods and any subsequent open-market sales within 12 months that would further change ownership levels.
