Context

• This was a performance-based award vesting event, not an open-market purchase or sale. Such awards reflect company compensation/retention practices and the committee’s determination that performance targets were satisfied; they do not directly indicate insider buying conviction in the open market.
• Because the shares remain subject to continued service through Aug 31, 2026, they may be forfeitable if employment conditions are not met.
