Key Details
- Transaction date reported: January 27, 2026 (Form 4 filed/amended March 3, 2026).
- Reported amount: 1,460 shares; acquisition price reported as $0.00 (award).
- Footnote F1: These PSUs were earned for the performance period ending December 31, 2025; certification by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee occurred January 27, 2026. PSUs vest on March 1, 2026 and will be settled by delivery of shares thereafter, subject to continued service through vesting.

Context
- PSUs are performance-based equity awards; the number of shares delivered depends on company performance. Here, the award paid at 200% of target, yielding 1,460 shares at payout.
- The $0.00 acquisition price reflects an award rather than a cash purchase; the economic value to the insider equals the market value of the shares when they are delivered.
- Awards and vested grants are common executive compensation events and do not, by themselves, indicate buying or selling sentiment.
