- The grant was board-approved in accordance with Rule 16b-3.
- Filing timing: Form filed May 4, 2026 covering April 28–30 transactions. Forms are typically due within two business days of a reportable transaction; investors may note the filing date when reviewing timeliness.
Context: The largest item is a long-term, unvested derivative award (M Units) rather than an immediate open-market purchase or sale. M Units vest over many years and convert to common shares only upon vesting/redemption, so this is a long-term compensation/ownership mechanism rather than an immediate stock purchase or sale. The April 30 entries reflect internal structuring tied to the IPO and purchase-price adjustment mechanics, not a typical cash sale to a third party.
