• Transaction date: 2026-03-05; filing date: 2026-03-09 (filed within the required two business days).
• Transaction type/code: Award/other acquisition (A). Price reported: $0.00 for 55 shares.

• Footnote F1: These 55 shares reflect dividend equivalent rights received pursuant to a cash dividend on RSUs; they are subject to the same terms and conditions as the underlying RSUs.

Dividend-equivalent awards on RSUs are a routine form of compensation and are recorded as acquisitions at no cash cost to the insider; they are not the same as an open-market purchase and do not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment. The filing was timely.
