Insights

TL;DR: Director filed multiple indirect sales at high single-share prices and reported entity-level holdings plus a gift of 10,000 shares.

The Form 4 documents a series of block sales executed on 09/12/2025 by Stockbridge Partners LLC at weighted-average prices in a tight band from about $1,270.85 to $1,284.35, reported across many individual transactions. The filing clarifies that the shares are held indirectly by investment entities (Stockbridge Fund, L.P. and Stockbridge Partners LLC) and that the reporting person disclaims direct beneficial ownership except for any pecuniary interest. A separate 09/15/2025 disposition shows a gift of 10,000 shares to a donor-advised fund. For investors, the material facts are transaction dates, price ranges, and the entity-level ownership disclosures.

TL;DR: Form 4 shows routine section 16 disclosure of indirect holdings and multiple block sales plus a charitable gift, with standard disclaimers.

The filing contains detailed explanatory footnotes describing the ownership chain and the reporting person’s managerial roles in the entities that hold the shares. The presentation follows typical Section 16 reporting conventions: multiple sales reported with weighted-average prices and an explicit disclaimer of beneficial ownership except for pecuniary interest. The documented gift to a donor-advised fund is reported as a $0 disposition, consistent with charitable transfer disclosure requirements. No derivative positions are reported on this form.
