• Transaction type: Award/Acquisition (code A) — common stock units granted via deferral of a cash award.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in this Form 4.
• Footnote: These units were acquired when Mr. Laxton elected to defer part of his annual incentive cash award; he is immediately vested, and units will be distributed in full six months after his retirement.
• Filing timeliness: Report filed 2026-03-12 for a 2026-03-10 transaction (timely within the typical two-business-day reporting window).

Context
These are deferred common stock units tied to Laxton’s annual incentive compensation, not a cash purchase or sale. Such deferrals are common compensation practices and reflect an executive choosing stock-linked deferral of pay; they are informational rather than a direct signal of near-term trading intent.
