• Transaction date: 2026-03-31; Filing date: 2026-04-01 (filed timely).
• Award: 123 deferred stock units; acquisition price reported $0.00 (grant).
• Reported as a derivative award (not an open-market buy or sale).

Context
Deferred stock units are a form of compensation and represent a contingent right to future shares rather than immediate ownership. Because these units were issued as a retainer and will be delivered only upon separation, this filing is routine compensation disclosure and should not be read as a market buy or sell signal.
