Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-05-18; filing date: 2026-05-20 (filed within the typical 2-business-day reporting window).
• Shares granted: 2,812; price per share reported: $0.00; aggregate reported consideration: $0.
• Footnote F1: "Represents a quarterly director grant of fully vested shares." These shares vest immediately.
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the filing.
• Transaction code: A (award/grant).

Context
Director awards are routine compensation for board service. Because these shares are fully vested, Maxted acquired immediate ownership (subject to company trading policies and SEC rules). The filing lists $0 consideration for the grant; fair-market value or tax basis at grant is not provided here and would determine any taxable income for the recipient. This is an award (not a purchase or sale) and should be interpreted as compensation, not a directional buy/sell signal.
