Showing 25 of 30 transactions.
Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2025-12-09 to 2026-04-08. Excludes option exercises, grants, gifts and tax withholding. Amended filings replace the originals; joint filings count once. Foreign private issuers do not file Form 4. Many insider sales are pre-scheduled (10b5-1 plans) and are not by themselves a sign of wrongdoing.
"As a result of this process, following the review and evaluation of proposals from participating firms, on March 4, 2026, the Committee approved the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, subject to completion of PwC's standard client acceptance procedures and execution of an engagement letter."
