- F2: The filing references 1,728 restricted shares with multi-year vesting, and specifically notes 344-share vesting tranches that align with the 5/19/2026 grant.
- F3–F8: Describe vesting schedules and exerciseability for option/derivative awards (multi-year vesting and certain tranches not immediately vested/exercisable).

Context
- Gifts are dispositions and do not necessarily reflect the insider’s view of the company’s prospects. The later 344-share award is restricted stock with multi-year vesting (not immediately liquid), and the 647 derivative awards are subject to vesting/option-style terms per the footnotes. These grants are compensation/award events rather than open-market purchases; they don’t signal the same level of insider “buying” conviction that a purchased stake would.
