• Vesting: TRSUs vest in four equal annual installments beginning February 8, 2027 (per footnote).

Context
TRSUs are a form of compensation that vest over time and typically serve to retain executives; they do not represent an immediate purchase or sale of stock. Because the award is deferred, Mr. Warsek will not receive distributions until each tranche vests and his deferral elections are applied. Awards are common executive pay components and should be viewed as compensation rather than a direct signal of insider buying or selling.
