Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-30; Filing date: 2026-10-01 (filed within the Form 4 reporting window).
• Transaction type/code: Grant/Award (A); derivative securities (RSUs).
• Quantity and price: 31 RSUs at $0.00 per share; total cash value not stated on Form 4 (award reflects compensation rather than an open-market purchase).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in this Form 4.
• Relevant footnotes: F1—Award under 2026 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors; F2—these securities generally have no conversion price/exercise/expiration; F3—Earley elected to defer settlement until termination of board service or a future date; F4—RSUs issued in lieu of quarterly cash retainer and are fully vested.

Context

• RSUs are compensation awards (a deferred right to receive stock) rather than a stock purchase; receiving RSUs is routine director compensation and does not by itself signal a buy or sell decision. Because Earley elected to defer settlement, actual delivery of shares (if any) will occur at her selected deferred date or upon termination of service.
