Key Details
- Transaction dates: Jan 31, 2026 (conversion/withholding) and Feb 1, 2026 (grants). Form filed Feb 3, 2026.
- Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (RSU conversion), F = withholding to satisfy tax liability, A = grant/award.
- Shares acquired via conversion: 4,179 ADSs. Shares withheld for taxes (disposed): 2,298 ADSs; cash value withheld reported = $35,435.
- Grant details: 26,793 RSUs (vest in 3 equal annual installments Jan 31, 2027–2029); option for 120,566 ADSs (33% vests on first anniversary, remainder vests ratably over next 8 quarters).

Context
- These were largely non‑market transactions tied to RSU vesting and routine tax withholding (not an open‑market sale). Conversions at $0.00 reflect vested RSUs/awards being settled into ADSs rather than a cash purchase.
- The new awards (RSUs and option) are standard long‑term compensation with multi-year vesting; they do not by themselves signal immediate buying or selling by the insider.
