MYERS JAMES M 4

(JACK), was credited with 1,355 common stock equivalents (CSEs) under the company's Deferred Compensation Plan for Non‑Management Directors on 2026-03-02. The reported acquisition price is $0, so the immediate transaction value is $0. These CSEs will be converted into actual shares of common stock when distribution occurs under the plan.

Key Details

• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the excerpt provided (the filing notes total beneficial ownership includes a separate RSU grant filed 3/04/2026).
• Footnotes: F1 — these are common stock equivalents credited under the director deferred compensation plan; the director elected to defer cash retainers and will receive equivalent shares when distributions are made. F2 — the reported total beneficial ownership aggregates an RSU award granted 3/03/2026 (filed on 3/04/2026).

Context

• This was an award of deferred compensation (CSEs), not an open‑market purchase or sale. Such awards reflect compensation/deferral elections rather than a direct market bet on the stock.
• Because the CSEs convert to shares only at distribution, they do not represent immediate share sales or purchases and are generally considered routine director compensation.
