Equity compensation analyst

Routine equity grant with tax withholding, no open-market trading.

EVP and General Counsel Edward Hutchinson Robbins Jr. received a stock award of 103,014 common shares on March 18, 2026. This is labeled as a grant or award, indicating compensation rather than an open-market purchase.

The following day, the company withheld 50,529 shares at $4.27 per share to satisfy tax obligations tied to restricted stock unit vesting. The footnote states he did not sell shares to any third party, so this is a non-market, mechanical tax payment. He still holds 619,763 shares directly plus 15,904.64 shares indirectly via a 401(k), suggesting these movements are routine and do not materially change his overall exposure.
