The filing also reports three separate RSU-related entries in the derivative section: 4,563, 4,210, and 5,974 RSUs vesting and converting 1-for-1 into shares, with resulting beneficial ownership balances of 13,688, 42,096, and 59,745 shares respectively.

Insights

Insider received vested RSUs and sold a portion to cover taxes on 10/01/2025.

The filing documents routine executive compensation activity: the vesting and settlement of multiple RSU awards that produced an immediate acquisition of 14,747 shares and the issuer's withholding of 7,530 shares at $70.49 to satisfy tax obligations. These are recorded as non-derivative acquisitions and disposals on the same date.

The derivative section lists outstanding RSU balances that convert 1-for-1 into common stock under defined vesting schedules, including grants that vest quarterly or semi‑annually. This clarifies the cadence of future potential share issuances tied to continued employment.
