What Happened

Key Details

- Tax withholding: 2026-02-26 — 25,048 shares withheld at $0.66 each; total $16,532.

Vesting schedule: 1/4 on 2027-02-25, then remaining RSUs in 12 equal quarterly installments beginning 2027-05-25, subject to continued service. F2 — the withheld shares were used to satisfy tax liability from RSU vesting originally reported in a Form 4/A filed 2025-03-14.

Context
- RSU grants are compensation awards that convert into shares only when they vest; they are not the same as an open-market purchase and are a common form of employee compensation.
- The 25,048-share disposition was a tax-withholding action (code F), not a discretionary sale — it reduces issued shares outstanding delivered to the insider and covers tax obligations.
- For retail investors, awards signal company compensation practices and potential future share issuance upon vesting; they are less direct signals of the insider's personal market view than outright purchases or sales.
