Routine automatic option exercise, tax withholding in shares, no open‑market sales disclosed.

The filing shows Chief People Officer Luani Alvarado exercising 85,534 stock options at an exercise price of $13.76 before they expired on February 8, 2026. The options were automatically exercised on the last trading day before expiration to avoid forfeiture, and the underlying award was fully vested.

The company withheld 71,581 common shares at $18.13 per share to satisfy the exercise price and tax obligations, leaving 46,602.14 shares directly owned.
