Insights

Corporate Insider Transactions Analyst

Mandatory sell-to-cover tax sale reduced holdings by 23,747 shares.

The reported disposition on 10/06/2025 reflects a non-discretionary sale tied to tax withholding for vested PSUs, not an open-market diversification decision. The transaction price was $32.187 and the filing notes the company requires "sell to cover" under its equity plans.

Key near-term items to watch include any future PSU vesting schedules and additional Form 4 filings that would show discretionary sales or further mandatory withholdings; those would modify insider ownership trends over the next vesting cycles.
