• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing.
• Vesting/footnote: The RSUs vest in four equal quarterly installments from the grant date, subject to the reporting person’s continued service. Each RSU converts to one share upon vesting (Footnote F1).

Context RSU awards are a form of compensation that convert to actual shares only as they vest; they do not require the insider to buy shares on the open market. Because vesting is conditional on continued service, these awards reflect compensation arrangements rather than an immediate market-driven purchase or sale.
