• Vesting: Initial award vests quarterly over three years (subject to continued service). Pro‑rated annual award vests 100% on the earlier of one year from grant or the day before the next annual meeting (subject to continued service).
• Post-transaction holdings: Includes 36,102 unvested RSUs reported for the reporting person (each converts to one share upon vesting).

Context
RSU grants to outside directors are routine compensation and are non‑cash awards that become company stock only as they vest. Such awards are different from open‑market purchases (which can signal buying conviction) and from option exercises followed by immediate sales. This Form 4 reports the grant (acquisition code A), not a purchase or sale of existing shares.
