• Vesting/exercise schedule: RSUs vest in three equal installments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant (F1). The option-type award becomes exercisable in one-third increments beginning on the first anniversary of the September 16, 2026 grant (F3).

Context

• These were equity compensatory grants (awards), not open-market purchases or sales. Such grants are common as part of executive compensation and do not by themselves signal buying or selling intent.
• The derivative award is a stock option–style grant that must vest/become exercisable over time before the holder can exercise to acquire shares.
