• Shares acquired: 4,585 RSUs.

• Footnotes from the filing:
  • F1: The restricted stock units will become fully vested on the first anniversary of the 2/1/2026 grant and are payable in common stock unless the insider elected to defer.
  • F2: Some stock units reported are 100% vested at acquisition.
  • F3: Phantom stock units (if any) remain in the director’s Deferred Compensation Plan until distributed per the director’s distribution elections on file.

Context

• RSU grants are typically compensation and do not by themselves signal buying or selling intent; value is realized when units vest and are delivered (or taxed) according to the director’s elections.
• If the director elected deferral, payout timing may be delayed and could be in shares or held as phantom units in a deferred comp plan.
