The Form 4 reports the acquisition at $0.00 on the face of the filing; RSUs are a contingent right to receive one share of common stock per unit when they vest.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-17; Form 4 filed: 2026-09-21.
• Reported acquisition: 1,619 RSUs; reported price: $0.00 (no cash paid at grant on Form 4).
• Footnote: F1 — each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the issuer’s common stock.
• Shares owned after the transaction and vesting schedule were not disclosed in the filing.
• Filing timing: Filed four days after the transaction date. (Form 4s are typically due within two business days of the transaction; this filing appears later than that standard.)

Context

• This is a compensation grant (award), not an open-market purchase or sale — such grants are routine for executives and do not by themselves indicate an insider buying or selling stock for investment reasons.
• Value to the insider will depend on the company’s share price at vesting; the Form 4 shows the grant but does not list vesting terms or immediate cash value.
