Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-30; Form 4 filed: 2026-05-01 (timely filing).
• Price reported: $7.33 per share; total value: $100,003.

Context

• Awards to directors are commonly part of compensation packages (restricted stock units or restricted shares); the Form 4 records the acquisition but does not by itself indicate whether shares are subject to vesting or other conditions.
• Because this is an award (acquisition) rather than a sale, it is a purchase-type insider activity — more informative to some investors than routine sales, but not a direct market purchase by the insider.
