- Disposed (sell-to-cover tax withholding):
- 10,200 shares @ $4.41 = $44,982

Footnote F3 lists remaining outstanding RSU awards and future vesting schedules (3,750 outstanding with 1,250 vesting quarterly from Sept 1, 2026 to Mar 1, 2027; 30,000 outstanding with 5,000 vesting quarterly from Sept 1, 2026 to Dec 1, 2027).
Context
This was an RSU vesting event with a routine "sell-to-cover" for tax withholding — common when equity awards vest. Such transactions typically reflect ordinary compensation settlement rather than a directional trade signal by the insider. No purchase (P) or open-market selling beyond tax withholding was reported, and this is not a gift or a 10% owner transaction.
