• Footnote F1: These restricted shares vest 100% on April 20, 2027, subject to continued service.

Context
Restricted stock awards are commonly used to align executives’ interests with long-term company performance and to retain key personnel; they do not represent an immediate sale or cash realized by the insider. Because the award vests only after continued service, it signals a compensation/retention motive rather than a direct trading signal.
