• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnotes: F1 = shares withheld to pay tax liability; F2 = restricted stock awarded to non-management directors under the 2024 Long Term Incentive Plan, becoming non-forfeitable the day before the 2027 annual shareholders meeting.

Context The 748-share disposition was a tax-withholding event (routine when equity vests or is delivered) rather than an open-market sale and does not necessarily indicate a change in sentiment. The 1,756 shares are restricted stock awarded as part of the board’s annual equity retainer for non-management directors and will vest/not be forfeitable prior to the 2027 annual meeting per the footnote. Such awards are standard compensation for directors and differ from market purchases by insiders.
