• Transaction date: 2026-01-16; Filing date: 2026-01-21 (filed within typical SEC two-business-day window given the Jan 19 federal holiday).
• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A); derivative security (RSUs).
• Amount: 390 RSUs reported at $0.00 per unit (aggregate $0).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided summary.

Context

This is a standard director compensation award (RSUs). RSUs do not represent immediate ownership of shares until they vest and are delivered; here delivery is deferred until about 90 days after Flaherty’s board retirement, so this grant does not reflect an immediate market purchase or sale. Such awards are routine and typically part of director pay programs.
