• Transaction date and price: 2026-02-28 at $50.99 per share
• Shares acquired: 662; total value: $33,755
• Transaction type: A (award/grant — acquisition of shares as compensation)
• Shares owned after transaction: Not reported in the provided excerpt of the Form 4

Context An "A" code award is generally compensation-related and should be viewed differently than an open-market purchase (which can be a more direct bullish signal) or a sale. The footnote indicates holdings were adjusted for a 5% stock dividend in Dec 2025, which affects reported share totals. This summary is factual and does not infer the director's motives.
