Insights
TL;DR: Routine tax-withholding sale related to RSU vesting; no evidence here of discretionary insider selling beyond withholding.
The filing shows a single transaction: an automatic disposition of 388 shares to satisfy tax withholding for vested restricted stock units. The report indicates continued significant ownership (20,761 shares) following the sale. Because the filing explicitly attributes the sale to tax withholding, this is a routine compensation-related transaction rather than a voluntary cash-raising insider sale, based solely on the provided explanation.
TL;DR: Small, explicit RSU tax-withholding sale; transaction size is minor relative to typical insider positions.
The transaction code 'S' and the explanatory note clarify the sale purpose. The price of record is $125.3071 per share and the post-transaction beneficial ownership is 20,761 shares. From a reporting standpoint, the Form 4 is complete for this event and documents the administrative nature of the disposition tied to compensation vesting.
