- Footnotes of note:
- F1: Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock; the RSUs have no expiration.
- F2: Some shares are held by Indigo Denver Management Company, LLC; Franke is sole member and may be deemed to have voting/dispositive power but disclaims beneficial ownership except to his pecuniary interest.
- F3: The RSUs have fully vested as of May 14, 2026.
- F4: (Standard) Some RSUs will vest in full on the earlier of May 14, 2027 or immediately before the next annual meeting, subject to continued service.
Context
- Transaction code M indicates an exercise/conversion of a derivative; the matching disposal at $0 typically reflects surrendering shares on settlement (e.g., to satisfy exercise costs or tax withholding), as reported, rather than an open-market sale. The grant of RSUs (code A) is an award and — per F3 — those RSUs are reported as vested as of the transaction date. Because Franke is a 10% owner and some holdings are through an entity he controls, these filings reflect insider/institutional ownership activity rather than routine open-market buying/selling by an executive.
