Key Details
- Transactions:
- 2026-04-24: Award/Grant (A) — 64,200 RSUs granted @ $0.00 (per filing; these RSUs vest on 2027-04-24; see footnote F4).
- 2026-04-28: Exercise/Conversion (M) — 120,850 RSUs converted to shares (price N/A in one line, $0.00 in another line).
- 2026-04-28: Exercise/Conversion (M) — same 120,850 shares recorded as disposed on 2026-04-28 (price $0.00; proceeds not specified).
- Shares owned after the transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
- Notable footnotes:
- F1: RSUs granted 2025-04-28 vested on 2026-04-28 (no expiration).
- F4: RSUs granted 2026-04-24 vest on 2027-04-24 (no expiration).
- F3: Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one Series A share.
- F2: Holdings are reported via ADS/CPO structure (each ADS = 10 CPOs; each CPO represents the economic interest in one Series A share).
- Timeliness: Form 4 was filed on 2026-04-28 for transactions on 2026-04-24 and 2026-04-28; filing date matches the form’s filing date and there is no indication in the excerpt that the filing was late.
Context
- These transactions involve RSUs (restricted stock units), which are rights to receive underlying shares when they vest (per footnotes). The 120,850 units that converted on 2026-04-28 appear to have been disposed the same day, per the filing — a pattern that often reflects an immediate sale or transfer following vesting (filing shows $0.00 for price/proceeds, so net cash proceeds are not reported in the excerpt). The 64,200 RSUs granted on 2026-04-24 will not vest until 2027-04-24 and therefore do not represent immediately tradable shares.
