• Total beneficial ownership disclosed as 4,462 shares, with account-level details and dividend-reinvested shares specified.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Small tax-withholding sale following restricted stock vesting; overall insider holdings remain modest at 4,462 shares.

The transaction reflects a routine withholding of 89 restricted shares at $48.44 to satisfy tax obligations from vesting 250 restricted shares. This is an administrative disposition rather than a voluntary market sale and does not materially change the insider's ownership stake. Total reported beneficial ownership of 4,462 shares is disclosed with holdings spread across Computershare, Shareworks and a brokerage account, indicating standard custody arrangements for equity compensation.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Disclosure is timely and standard; no governance red flags from the reported withholding and account arrangements.

The Form 4 clearly states the nature of the disposition (tax withholding on vested restricted stock) and provides account-level detail for remaining holdings. Filing as an individual and execution via POA are documented with a dated signature. There is no indication of unusual trading patterns or undisclosed relationships; the disclosure meets Section 16 requirements for this type of compensation-related transfer.
