Key Details

• Amount: 1,508 derivative shares; Price per share at grant: $0.00; total cash exchanged at grant: $0.
• Footnotes of the filing indicate these are RSU-style awards under the Company’s plans (each RSU typically converts to one share) and vest 100% in Q1 2027, subject to continued employment (see F5 & F6).

Context

• This was a compensatory grant (derivative award/RSUs), so no shares were bought or sold in the open market. RSUs convert to actual shares only upon vesting and may be subject to forfeiture if employment ends before vesting. Such grants are routine executive compensation and do not by themselves indicate an insider buying or selling for investment purposes.
