- Reported transaction: Grant/Award (code A) of 34,994 RSUs at $0.00 (total reported acquisition value $0).
- Footnote F1: The award ties back to a July 1, 2023 performance-based RSU grant; the Compensation Committee determined payout on April 27, 2026 based on performance metrics (core revenue, core operating profit, R&D milestones).

Context
This filing documents a performance-based equity award rather than an open-market trade. For retail investors, awards like this indicate company compensation tied to long-term performance metrics; they do not by themselves indicate insider buying or selling of existing shares.
