Insights

TL;DR: Insider executed both purchases and sales on the same date, altering direct holdings modestly while receiving RSU awards subject to time-based vesting.

The Form 4 shows contemporaneous open-market activity: a purchase of 9,576 common shares and a sale of 7,779 shares at $21.02 each on 08/15/2025, which nets to a modest increase in reported holdings on the first line. The report separately documents RSU transactions aggregating to 28,613 units across entries, with 19,037 RSUs reported as acquired under code A and the remainder under code M. RSUs are time-vested and paid in three equal annual installments, indicating future diluted issuance timing tied to continued employment. All figures are reported as direct beneficial ownership; 368.66 shares are held in the company 401(k) plan as noted in the explanations.

TL;DR: Officer activity combines compensation-related RSU awards and routine trading; disclosure appears complete and consistent with compensation vesting rules.

The filing combines compensation-related equity grants and market transactions. The presence of multiple RSU entries with time-based vesting aligns with standard executive compensation practice and the explanation clarifies a 1-for-1 conversion and three-year disbursement schedule. Separate buy and sell transactions at the same $21.02 price on 08/15/2025 are disclosed with resulting ownership levels provided. The form is signed by an attorney-in-fact and includes the customary note about shares held in the 401(k) plan. Based on the filing alone, disclosures meet Section 16 reporting norms without additional qualifiers in the document.
