Context

• RSUs are contingent awards that convert to shares as they vest; 90,127 of these RSUs vested immediately, providing immediate economic interest subject to the company’s terms.
• The 10,000‑share purchase was a cash purchase through the directed share program (often used by insiders participating in IPO allocations), representing a direct insider buy rather than a sale.
• This filing contains both an equity award and a purchase; purchases by executives can be viewed as a stronger direct signal of personal investment than routine compensation grants, but the filing itself does not state any motivation.
