Key Details

• Transaction date and filing: Grant on 2026-05-07; Form 4 filed 2026-05-11.
• Price/value: 2,135 RSUs × $70.27 = $150,026 reported value.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnote: The RSUs are restricted stock units that will vest and settle into common shares on the earlier of May 7, 2027, or the next annual meeting of stockholders following the grant (per footnote F1).
• Timeliness: The Form 4 was filed four days after the transaction date; Section 16 filings are normally required within two business days, so this may represent a late filing (no cure/penalty details provided in the excerpt).

Context

• RSU grants to directors are a common form of compensation and do not represent an immediate open-market purchase or sale. The units convert to shares only if and when they vest per the schedule noted above.
