Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-02-19; Form 4 filed 2026-02-23 (appears to be outside the typical 2-business-day reporting window).

- Vesting: RSUs vest on the third anniversary of the award (footnote F2). Options vest in ~4 equal annual installments beginning one year after the award (footnote F5) and generally expire up to ten years after grant (footnote F6).

Context
RSUs are deferred equity that convert to shares upon vesting and do not require exercise; stock options give the holder the right to buy shares at an exercise price (exercise price not shown here). These grants are compensation awards and are common for executives; they do not by themselves indicate an immediate buy/sell signal because vesting and exercise decisions occur later.
