Key Details

• Transaction dates and prices: 2026-09-24 — 50,000 shares @ $0.22 (reported $10,865); 2026-09-25 — 50,000 shares @ $0.20 (reported $9,875).
• Total shares received: 100,000; total reported value: $20,740.
• Transaction type: A = Award/Grant (typically part of compensation plan or restricted stock award).
• Shares owned after the transaction: Not disclosed in the Form 4 filing.
• Filing: Form 4 was filed with the SEC on 2026-09-28 for transactions dated 9/24–9/25; Form 4s are generally due within two business days, so this appears to have been filed after that window (possible late filing).

Context
Awards (A) are usually compensation-related grants (restricted stock or similar) and do not by themselves indicate open-market buying or selling intent. For retail investors, these grants reflect how the company compensates key executives but are not a direct signal of the insider buying stock with personal funds.
