- Shares owned after transaction: Not reported in the Form 4.
- Vesting/tax notes:
- RSUs vest in 12 equal quarterly installments (12 quarters = 3 years), beginning July 1, 2026, subject to continued employment or prior retirement eligibility; RSUs have no expiration date (Footnote F3).

Context
This is a standard equity compensation grant—not a purchase or sale—and does not by itself indicate buying or selling sentiment. No immediate dilution occurs until RSUs vest and shares are delivered; tax withholding may reduce the number of shares actually issued to the insider when delivery occurs.
