KLOCK JOHN C JR 4

The reported acquisition price is $0.00 (transaction code A = Award/Grant). This was a grant of equity (not an open-market purchase or sale), so it does not reflect an immediate cash outlay or open-market demand signal.

Context

• This is an equity award subject to time-based vesting — not an immediate purchase or sale. Grants can be part of compensation or retention programs; the filing itself does not state the reason for the award.
• As a reported 10% owner, Klock is a significant shareholder; filings for large owners follow the same Form 4 reporting rules as officers/directors but do not by themselves indicate trading sentiment.
