• Vesting schedule (F1): three installments — 13,007 RSUs on 8/31/2027, 13,006 RSUs on 8/31/2028, and 13,006 RSUs on 8/31/2029.
• Performance condition (F2): Each tranche is initially 100% unvested and vests independently based on the company’s Same Store Sales performance for the applicable performance period.
• Footnote F3 references option vesting rules but does not apply to this RSU award in this filing.
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the provided filing.

Context RSU grants like this are a common form of executive compensation intended for retention and to align pay with company performance; they do not indicate an immediate buy or sell signal. Because vesting is tied to Same Store Sales, future delivery of shares depends on meeting those performance targets and the scheduled time-based vesting dates.
