The Form 4 reports the award as an acquisition at $0.00 per share (total reported value $0), indicating these are restricted shares issued as compensation rather than an open-market purchase.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-16; Form 4 filed: 2026-02-18 (filed within the typical 2-business-day window).
• Transaction type/code: A — Grant / award / other acquisition.
• Shares granted: 750; reported acquisition price: $0.00; reported dollar value: $0.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided extract.
• Footnotes: The filing includes multiple footnotes indicating restricted stock and staged vesting schedules (e.g., 20% per year commencing on various Feb 16 dates and one note showing 100% vesting on Feb 16, 2027). These restrictions mean the shares will vest over time rather than being immediately transferable.

Context
This was a compensation award (restricted stock), which is common for directors and does not necessarily signal a personal buy or sell decision. Such grants are typically used for director pay or retention and should be interpreted differently than an open-market purchase, which might be viewed as a more direct bullish signal.
