• Shares/units involved: 8,211 RSUs; reported price $0.00; total proceeds $0.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the filing.
• Footnotes: F1 — each RSU equals a contingent right to one share; F2 — the forfeited shares were scheduled to vest on June 15, 2028; F3 — the shares were deemed expired on March 31, 2026.
• Filing: Form 4 filed April 2, 2026; the filing shows no late-filing flag.

Context

• These were RSUs (a form of equity award) that were forfeited/expired before vesting and returned to the company, not market trades. The filing does not state why the RSUs expired/forfeited. For retail investors, forfeitures like this do not carry the same informational weight as insider purchases, which are more commonly viewed as positive signals.
