Key Details
- Exercise/Vesting (M): 2025-09-30 — 1,389 shares acquired at $0.00 (vested RSUs) (Footnote F1).
- Award/Grant (A): 2026-04-10 — 11,503 shares acquired at an attributed value of $6.52/share, total $75,000 (fully vested director award; Footnotes F2, F3).
- Sale (S): 2026-05-12 — 12,892 shares sold at $7.41/share, proceeds $95,476.
- The sold shares equal the total shares acquired from the RSU vesting and the director grant (1,389 + 11,503 = 12,892).
- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the supplied filing excerpt.
- Footnotes: F1 = shares from RSU vesting; F2 = fully vested grant under Non-Employee Director Compensation Program; F3 = $6.52 based on closing price on 4/10/2026.
- Filing timeliness: Form 4 was filed 2026-05-15 while transactions occurred on 2025-09-30, 2026-04-10 and 2026-05-12 — the April and September actions (and possibly the May sale) appear to have been reported after the typical two-business-day Form 4 deadline.
Context
- This pattern (award/vesting followed by a sale) is common for non-employee directors who receive equity as compensation and then convert it to cash; it is generally routine and not a direct indicator of a change in company outlook.
- For derivative transactions: the 2025 entry was an exercise/conversion of vested RSUs (no cash exercise price), not an option purchase.
