The filing shows 41,250 restricted stock units (RSUs) and a derivative award representing an option for 247,500 shares; both were recorded as acquisitions at $0.00 (typical for grants).
Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-02-12; Form 4 filed 2026-02-13 (timely).
- Awards: 41,250 RSUs (F1) and a right/option to purchase 247,500 shares (F2).
- Price reported: $0.00 (grant/award), so no cash paid at grant.
- Vesting (per footnotes):
- RSUs (F1): 1/4 vests on each of the first four anniversaries of Feb 15, 2026, subject to continued service; each RSU converts to one share when vested.
- Option (F2): 25% vests Feb 15, 2027, remaining 75% vests in equal monthly installments over the following three years, subject to continued service.

Context
- These are compensation awards (not open-market purchases or sales). RSUs and options are common executive compensation tools that create future equity only as they vest; they do not represent immediately tradable shares until vesting (RSUs convert to shares on vesting; options require exercise).
- Such grants are routine for executives and reflect compensation/retention, not an explicit buy/sell signal.
