    • F3: The RSRs vest in three installments: one‑third on 2/5/2027, one‑third on 2/5/2028, and one‑third on 2/5/2029. As a condition, the reporting person agreed to hold required shares while employed and for one year after retirement under the Company’s Stock Ownership Policy.

Context

  • This was a compensation award (derivative restricted share rights), not an open‑market purchase or sale. Such grants are common executive compensation and reflect future contingent pay tied to vesting rather than an immediate market transaction. The RSR vesting schedule and hold requirement determine when shares may be issued and sold.
