Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-28; Form 4 filed: 2026-09-29 (timely filing).
• Awards reported: 6,310 RSUs (grant) and 10,967 options (derivative grant), both coded as "A" (award/grant).
• Reported acquisition price: $0.00 for both items (typical for grant reporting).
• Vesting: RSUs and options vest on the first anniversary of the grant, subject to continuous service (per footnotes F1 and F2).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• No indication of a 10b5-1 plan, tax-withholding sale, or late filing in the disclosed details.

Context

These grants are standard compensation awards meant to align executive incentives with shareholders; they do not represent an immediate cash purchase or sale. The RSUs convert into shares upon vesting; the options are derivative awards that become exercisable after vesting. The filing does not disclose option strike price or post-vesting disposition plans—such details, if relevant, would affect future dilution or sales.
