These RSUs are fully vested awards granted in lieu of the annual director cash retainer; settlement into shares has been deferred under the applicable award agreement.
Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-04-01; Form 4 filed: 2026-04-03 (timely).
- Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A).
- Amount: 236 RSUs granted at $0.00 (reported value $0).
- Adjustment note: The 236 figure includes an addition of 9.5 shares representing dividend equivalent awards (per footnote F2) that were inadvertently omitted from a prior Form 4 filed March 12, 2026.

Context
- RSU awards given in lieu of cash retainer and with deferred settlement are routine director compensation and do not represent an open-market buy or sell. Because these are compensation awards (not purchases), they should be interpreted as pay-related grants rather than a direct insider signal of buying or selling interest. The filing corrects a prior omission by adding dividend-equivalent units.
