The filing shows a 4/29 grant of 2,903 RSUs (reported at $0.00 per unit), and on 4/30 a conversion/exercise of 3,369 derivative units (reported both as a disposition and an acquisition at $0.00). Also on 4/30 he was granted 327.439 RSUs under the company’s deferred compensation plan (reported at $0.00). The reported per-unit price and total cash value for these entries are $0.00 (typical for RSU/derivative reporting).

Key Details

• Transaction dates: 2026-04-29 (2,903 RSUs granted); 2026-04-30 (3,369 derivative units exercised/converted — shown as both disposed and acquired; 327.439 RSUs granted).
• Prices/values: All entries reported at $0.00 per unit; filing shows no cash proceeds.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided summary of the Form 4.
• Filing date/timeliness: Form 4 filed 2026-05-01 for transactions on 4/29 and 4/30 — appears timely under Section 16 reporting rules.
• Notable footnotes (from the filing): F1–F5 explain these are RSUs (each unit = right to one share), awards to non-employee directors, units may be settled in stock or cash via the Deferred Compensation Company Stock Plan, deferred units are distributed on separation, and some awards reflect company match.

Context

• These entries represent awards and derivative conversion activity rather than an open-market purchase or outright sale. RSUs are conditional awards that convert to shares (or cash) per plan terms; the 3,369-unit exercise/conversion entry reported as both a disposition and an acquisition reflects conversion/settlement mechanics in the Form 4 reporting rather than necessarily a market sale. For retail investors, awards and conversions are routine compensation/settlement events for directors and do not by themselves imply trading intent.
