Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-02-13; Form 4 filed 2026-02-18 (timely filing given the Feb 16 federal holiday).
- Grant: 589 RSUs at $0.00 (award/acquisition).
- Vesting: 1/4 vests on each of Mar 31, Jun 30, Sep 30, and Dec 31, 2026, subject to continued service; any unvested RSUs will fully vest upon the Closing of the merger with Boston Scientific (per the Jan 14, 2026 merger agreement).

Context
- RSUs are a common form of executive/director compensation and represent a promise to deliver shares in the future if vesting conditions are met; they do not necessarily reflect a personal buy or sell decision.
- The grant includes acceleration language tied to the announced merger with Boston Scientific, meaning unvested awards could vest sooner if the deal closes.
