Key Details
- Transaction date: February 26, 2026; Filing date: March 2, 2026.
- Transaction type/code: Exercise of options (derivative code M).
- Prices and amounts: 2,069 shares @ $13.71 (paid $28,366); 5,381 shares @ $13.71 (paid $73,774); total acquired 7,450 shares for $102,140.
- Shares owned after transaction: The filing’s footnote indicates these represent shares held by the reporting person after the exercise (per F1).

Context
- This was an option exercise (code M), not an open-market purchase or sale. Because the exercised shares were not reported sold immediately, this is an acquisition of shares into the insider’s holdings rather than a liquidity event.
- Exercises are often routine (vesting or planned conversions); the filing itself does not state motivation.
