Insights

Equity Compensation Analyst

Routine RSU vesting with tax withholding, not an open-market trade.

EVP and Chief Human Resources Officer Amy Vieney converted 95 restricted stock units into common shares on March 11, 2026. This is coded as an M transaction, reflecting a routine derivative exercise rather than an open-market purchase.

A subsequent F-code transaction shows 66 common shares withheld at $51.80 per share to satisfy tax obligations, reducing directly held shares to 758.058. This withholding is not a discretionary sale and carries limited signal about her view of the stock.

Footnotes describe a 277-RSU grant from March 28, 2025, with 95 units vested and 92 and 90 RSUs scheduled to vest on March 11, 2027 and March 11, 2028. This indicates continuing equity-based compensation rather than a change in long-term ownership stance.
