Insights
Insider exercised compensation-related vesting and executed a tax-withholding sale.
The filing documents full and partial vesting of multiple RSU grants culminating on 10/01/2025, which is a routine executive compensation event tied to service conditions. The reporting shows a share disposition of 12,940 shares at $86.41 used to satisfy tax withholding rather than an outright market sale for diversification.
This pattern—vesting plus withholding—signals compensation realization rather than a governance change; it is material to ownership metrics but not a corporate control event.
Significant RSU vesting increases the executive's share stake and upcoming vesting schedule is clarified.
The vesting of 26,145 RSUs granted on 9/22/2025 and earlier awards increases Mr. Blotner’s immediate equity position to 105,080 shares. Remaining unvested tranches from 2021 and 2022 total identifiable future vesting: 1,306 shares begin quarterly vesting 1/1/2026, and other tranches include multiple quarterly installments starting 7/1/2026.
This clarifies near-term dilution from executive vesting and the timing of potential future share settlements.
