Insights
TL;DR: Form 4 discloses routine RSU vesting, a tax-withholding sale, and a corrected prior reporting error.
The filing documents non-derivative settlement of RSUs that vested on 09/15/2025 and related withholding of 6,000 shares at $43.94 to satisfy taxes, a common practice under equity compensation plans and exempt under Rule 16b-3. The filing also corrects a prior typographical understatement of 45 shares. All transactions are documented with grant dates, vesting schedules, and resulting beneficial ownership counts, reducing procedural risk from reporting inaccuracies.
TL;DR: Multiple RSU settlements increased realized share holdings while tax-withholding reduced net shares; vesting schedules remain scheduled through 2027.
The disclosure shows RSUs granted in April and August 2024 with staggered vesting: portions vested and settled on 09/13/2024 and 09/15/2025, with remaining tranches scheduled for 09/15/2026 and 09/15/2027 depending on grant. The 6,000-share withholding at $43.94 is a standard net-share settlement to meet tax obligations and is explicitly noted as exempt under Rule 16b-3. The corrected 45-share understatement improves historical reporting accuracy.
