Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-05-27 (Form 4 filed 2026-05-29).
• Transaction type: Award/Grant (RSUs); 26,354.319 shares reported at $0.00 per share.
• Vesting: 100% on 2027-05-27 (per footnote).
• Deferral: Reporting person elected to defer delivery of shares until retirement under the Issuer’s Deferred Compensation Plan.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing.
• Timeliness: Form filed two days after the grant date (appears timely under Section 16 reporting rules).

Context RSU grants to directors are typically compensation for board service rather than an open-market purchase or sale, so they do not directly signal a buy or sell sentiment. The deferral election means Gartland will not receive the shares (and therefore cannot sell them) until retirement from the Board, subject to plan terms.
