Insights

TL;DR: A routine director sale was disclosed; holdings remain concentrated in restricted stock units.

The sale of 785 shares by a director is a straightforward Section 16 disclosure. The filing identifies the reporting person as a director and indicates 1,642 restricted stock units are part of the 2,745 shares beneficially owned after the sale. The disclosure was executed by an attorney-in-fact, which is common for Form 4 filings. There is no additional context in the form about any planned sale program or reason for the disposition, and no derivative transactions or other material changes were reported.

TL;DR: Insider sale disclosed; transaction size and retained RSUs limit immediate material impact.

The director sold 785 shares at $128.3982, reducing direct holdings to 2,745 shares including 1,642 RSUs. Without information on total outstanding company shares or additional holdings, the transaction appears limited in scope. The Form 4 shows a single non-derivative disposition and does not disclose participation in a Rule 10b5-1 plan or other systematic selling arrangement.
