The Form 4 lists the transaction type as an award/acquisition (code A), meaning these shares were issued as compensation rather than bought on the open market.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-09-14 at $32.74 per share (total value $250,003).
• Transaction type: Award / Acquisition (code A) — shares issued as compensation.
• Vesting: Footnote F1 — the shares have a three-year cliff vest (no vesting until the three-year date).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the filing.
• Filing date and timeliness: Form 4 filed 2026-09-16 (filed within the standard two-business-day window for Form 4 reporting).

Context

• This was a compensation grant, not an open-market purchase or sale; such awards typically reflect pay and retention arrangements and do not by themselves indicate immediate insider buying or selling activity.
• The three-year cliff means Reckman must remain employed through the cliff period before any of these shares vest.
