Tax withholding transactions 1 transaction, 283 shares Summarized tax withholding activity in transactionSummary
restricted stock financial
"Represents grant of restricted stock under Issuer's 2017 Stock Plan, as amended and restated."
Shares granted to an individual that carry limits on transfer or sale until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them as a locked gift that gradually opens; for investors they matter because they affect how many shares may enter the market later, signal management incentives and potential dilution, and reveal confidence in future company performance.
2017 Stock Plan financial
"Represents grant of restricted stock under Issuer's 2017 Stock Plan, as amended and restated."
dividend reinvestment plan financial
"Includes shares of restricted stock held under Issuer's 2017 Stock Plan, as amended and restated, and shares held in a dividend reinvestment plan."
A dividend reinvestment plan lets shareholders automatically use cash dividends to buy more shares of the same company instead of receiving the money. It matters to investors because it turns regular payouts into a steady way to grow ownership and take advantage of compound returns—like having your savings automatically buy additional slices of a pie over time—while often reducing transaction costs and smoothing purchase timing.
tax withholding financial
"Shares were withheld to cover tax withholding in connection with the vesting of a prior restricted stock grant."
Tax withholding is the practice of taking a portion of a payment—such as wages, dividends, or sale proceeds—before it reaches the recipient and sending that portion to the tax authority as an advance on the recipient’s eventual tax bill. For investors it matters because withholding reduces immediate cash received and affects after‑tax returns, estimated tax payments, and whether you may owe more or receive a refund when taxes are finally calculated, like having a small automatic savings set aside for your tax bill.
