Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-02; reported acquisition price: $0.00 per share (total $0 on the form).
• Shares granted: 1,139.
• Shares owned after transaction: the filing does not report beneficial ownership; footnote states the reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares.
• Footnotes: F1—award designated as "Required Shares" under the Non-Employee Directors' Equity Compensation Plan; F2—reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership.
• Filing timeliness: Reported on 2026-04-02 for the same date of transaction; no late filing flagged.

Context

• Awards to non-employee directors are typically routine compensation or to meet ownership requirements and do not necessarily signal a personal trading decision. Because the reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares, they may be held in a plan or trust arrangement rather than owned outright by the director.
