• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A) — Restricted Stock Units.
• Shares granted: 35,321 RSUs at $0.00 per unit (grant value not stated on the Form 4).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing.

Context

• RSU grants are a form of compensation and do not reflect an immediate purchase or sale of stock; the units convert to shares only as they vest. Because vesting is spread over three years, these shares are not available for immediate sale unless previously vested units exist.
• Awards are routine for executives and should be interpreted as compensation-related rather than a direct market sentiment signal.
