Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-29; filing date: 2026-04-30 (appears timely).
• Award: 1,187 restricted shares at $67.41 per share; total value ≈ $80,016.
• Vesting: Footnote indicates a one-year vesting schedule under the Company’s 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing summary.

Context

• Restricted stock awards are grants that typically cannot be sold until they vest; this is a compensation/retention tool rather than an immediate market bet.
• Because this is an issued award (not a sale), it’s generally viewed as routine director compensation and not direct evidence of short-term sentiment.
