Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-08-03; Form 4 filed: 2026-08-05 (timely filing).
• Transaction type/code: Award/Acquisition (A).
• Shares acquired: 55 at $0.00 per share (total cash paid $0.00).

Context

• This was an equity award (compensation) rather than an open-market purchase or sale; such grants are routine components of executive pay and do not by themselves indicate the insider is buying or selling stock in the market.
• Dividend-equivalent rights simply accrue value tied to dividends on deferred/restricted units and are typically converted to shares when the related units vest.
