Context
This is a time-based restricted stock award, which vests over roughly one year starting March 18, 2027 (initial 1/3 vest) and then in quarterly installments. Awards are common for executive compensation and do not itself signal a near-term buying or selling decision by the insider; vesting ties future ownership to continued service. The filing date (May 6, 2026) is after the transaction date (March 18, 2026), so public disclosure was delayed.
