Insights
Insider exercised ESPP purchase and used share surrender for tax withholding on vested restricted stock.
The 10/01/2025 purchase of 72 shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is a routine equity participation by an officer. The subsequent 10/02/2025 surrender of 5,152 shares to cover tax withholding reflects standard treatment when restricted shares vest and taxes are due.
The filing shows a remaining direct holding of 20,795 shares and 3,411 restricted shares vesting across 2026–2028, with sole voting power retained by the reporting person; these are disclosure items relevant to insider ownership and potential voting influence.
