Insights

Compensation Governance Analyst

CEO received vested performance units; standard tax withholding reduced net shares.

The settlement of a 2022 performance unit grant converted to 43,370 shares on 10/03/2025, increasing direct ownership before withholding. The reporting person elected to defer settlement under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, consistent with common executive compensation practice.

Tax-withholding removed 9,462 shares in total (1,022 + 8,440), lowering net new shares added. Monitor future Form 4s for any elective sales or additional deferral elections within the next 12 months.

Equity Ownership Analyst

Beneficial ownership remains material at just over 201,000 shares after vesting and withholding.

Following settlement and withholding, the filing reports 201,990 shares beneficially owned directly. The filing also notes 4,274 shares from a dividend reinvestment feature, which modestly increases long-term stake without immediate cash outlay.

Investors tracking insider alignment should note the combination of deferred settlement and dividend reinvestment as signals of retained ownership; any future open-market sales would be disclosed on subsequent Form 4 filings.
