• Shares acquired: 107.55 at $10.13 per share — total ≈ $1,090.

Context An "A" code award typically reflects compensation (e.g., restricted stock, RSUs settled in shares) and does not necessarily signal an independent buy decision by the insider. Because this is a grant/award rather than an open-market purchase, treat it primarily as executive compensation disclosure rather than a bullish endorsement. The filing was made within the normal Form 4 reporting window.
