Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-01-29; Form 4 filed: 2026-01-30 (filed promptly).
• Transaction type/code: A = Award/Grant; shares acquired: 4,601; price reported: $0.00.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in the information provided in this filing.
• No footnotes on 10b5-1 plans, tax withholding, or cashless exercise were reported in the supplied details.

Context

• Code A grants are typically compensation-related (e.g., restricted stock or RSUs) and may vest over time; they differ from open-market purchases and do not necessarily reflect immediate personal cash investment. For investors, such awards signal alignment via equity compensation but are not the same signal as a director buying shares outright.
