Context These are performance-contingent equity awards, not open-market purchases or immediate sales. They carry no immediate cash cost to the insider and will only convert to equity (or become exercisable) if Cadre’s stock reaches the stated VWAP thresholds within the measurement period, so their ultimate value depends on future stock performance. As a 10% owner, Kanders’ receipt of awards is a Section 16 reportable transaction but does not, by itself, signal a near-term buy or sell of existing shares.
