Insights

Corporate Insider Filings Analyst

Insider tax-withholding sale of 13,366 shares; substantial retained stake of 499,237.

The filing documents a 10/01/2025 disposition coded as withholding to cover taxes from vested restricted stock units, not an open-market sale. That distinction explains why the transaction occurred at $19.93 and is recorded as a transfer to the issuer.

The reporting person remains a significant shareholder with 499,237 shares following the reported withholding. This keeps the officer materially invested while complying with tax obligations.
