Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-05-18; Form 4 filed: 2026-05-20 (file appears timely).
• Grant: 41,667 RSUs reported at $0.00 per share (total reported cash consideration $0).
• Vesting: RSUs are scheduled to vest on June 30, 2027, subject to continued service.
• Special vesting clause: If the reporting person is up for re‑election at the issuer's next annual meeting and is not re‑elected, the shares shall be deemed fully vested on that annual meeting date (see footnote).
• Shares owned after the transaction: not disclosed in the supplied filing excerpt.

Context This was an award/grant of time‑based RSUs, not an open‑market purchase or sale. RSUs do not represent immediate share ownership until they vest, so this is not an immediate bullish purchase signal. Such grants are common compensation for directors and align long‑term interests but do not by themselves indicate trading intent.
