  • Phantom stock holdings disclosed (9,287.828 shares) under the Deferred Compensation Plan, indicating ongoing deferred compensation tied to company equity.

Insights

TL;DR: Insider sale was modest; the reporting person retains meaningful direct, indirect, and phantom holdings.

The sale of 758 shares at $42.13 is a routine insider disposition and represents a small portion of the total reported holdings when compared to the combined direct, indirect, and phantom positions (totaling 30,386.533 shares when summed). This transaction alone is unlikely to materially affect valuation or signal a change in company fundamentals based on information in this filing. The continued direct ownership and substantial phantom stock balance align the reporting person’s economic exposure with company performance.

TL;DR: Transaction appears compliant and properly disclosed; executed via power of attorney signature.

The Form 4 discloses the officer’s relationship to the issuer and reports both non-derivative and derivative (phantom stock) holdings, with an explanatory note that phantom shares are deemed invested under the Deferred Compensation Plan. The filing bears a power of attorney signature dated 08/18/2025, which is an accepted administrative practice. There are no indications in this document of policy exceptions, late reporting, or related-party transactions beyond standard deferred compensation treatment.
