MALONE JAMES C 4

What Happened

• Footnotes: F1 = Restricted Stock Unit under the 2021 Stock Plan; F2 = Performance Stock Unit under the 2021 Stock Plan; F3 = PSUs become eligible to vest only when the performance trigger is met and the grant has been held at least 12 months.

Context

• These transactions are award- and conversion-based (not open-market buys or sales). Awards (RSUs/PSUs) are commonly used as compensation and do not necessarily indicate immediate buying or selling sentiment. The PSUs carry performance and holding-period conditions, so some or all of those shares may not vest until performance and time conditions are satisfied.
