Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-05-21; filing date (Form 4): 2026-05-26. The filing was submitted five days after the transaction (Form 4s are generally due within 2 business days).
• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A). Reported acquisition price: $0.00.
• Shares granted: 1,570 restricted shares.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnote: Restricted stock will vest in three annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date.

Context
Restricted stock awards are compensation-based grants that vest over time and do not represent an immediate cash purchase or sale. Because vesting ties the award to continued service, such grants are common for directors and should be viewed differently than open-market purchases (a more direct bullish signal) or sales. The late filing may be noteworthy for compliance tracking but does not itself indicate intent regarding the company’s stock.
