What Happened

Key Details

- Notable footnotes:
- F1: 1 RSU = right to 1 share.
- F2: The 2026 Annual RSUs vested on July 1, 2026 but settlement is delayed — within 60 days following July 1, 2028.
- F4: The 2026 Elective RSUs vest in equal fourths at the beginning of each quarter ending July 1, 2027, with settlement within 60 days after each vesting date.
- F3: Grants were to a non‑employee director and valued using the five‑day average closing price.
Context
- RSU awards are compensation (not open‑market purchases or sales). Vesting and delayed settlement mean Shropshire does not immediately receive tradable shares; these RSUs convert to shares (or equivalent) only at the stated settlement dates.
- Because this is a director compensation grant to a non‑employee director, it is a routine award rather than evidence of an open‑market buy or sell.
