How to read this data
None of the 1 sale in the table is flagged as scheduled (10b5-1 plan), the kind signed months ahead and executed automatically. United Parcel Service's single open-market purchase (code P) is the rare signal: insiders are already paid in stock, so buying more means putting in their own money. The latest filing is from May 15, 2026, and a Form 4 arrives up to two business days after the trade.
19 of the 20 rows in the table carry footnotes from the Form 4 itself, folded into the code column and copied verbatim; a row with no footnote means the filing has none.
