Insights

Mandated sell-to-cover of RSUs reduced holdings slightly; no discretionary insider selling signaled.

The transaction shows 140 shares sold at $29.161 to satisfy tax withholding from RSU vesting, a routine administrative outcome when an issuer elects a "sell-to-cover" method. The remaining beneficial ownership of 124,402 shares remains intact and is reported as a direct holding.

Key dependencies include the company’s equity plan rules and upcoming RSU vesting schedules; watch for additional Form 4 filings around subsequent vesting dates within the next 12 months if the issuer continues this withholding method.
