Context

This was a time‑based RSU grant to a director, which is a common form of equity compensation and does not represent an outright cash purchase or sale. Because the award's effective grant date remained December 23, 2025, the later processing and April 6 filing reflect administrative timing rather than a new grant date; retail investors should treat this as routine director compensation unless additional disclosures indicate otherwise.
