• Transaction date: February 25, 2026; Form filed February 27, 2026 (timely filing).
• Transaction type/code: Grant of restricted stock units (A).
• Amount: 172,106 RSUs; reported price: $0.00 (typical for RSU grants; value realized only when/if they vest and convert to shares).

Context RSU grants are compensation/retention awards, not open‑market purchases or sales. They don't immediately change public float until RSUs vest and are converted to shares (or sold). For retail investors, awards signal executive compensation alignment but are routine and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling sentiment.
