Key Details

• Transaction date: April 2, 2026; Form 4 filed April 6, 2026 (timely — filed within the two business-day window).
• Grant amounts and reported price: 34,000 restricted shares @ $0.00; 57,500 options (derivative) @ $0.00.
• Vesting (footnotes): both awards vest in two equal installments — half on April 2, 2027 and the remaining half on April 3, 2028.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the supplied filing details.
• No exercise, sale, or cashless transaction reported — options were granted, not exercised; no strike/exercise price or potential intrinsic value is provided in this summary.

Context These awards are typical long‑term compensation and vest over time; they do not represent an immediate market purchase or sale. For options, value is realized only if and when they are exercised (subject to any exercise price and other plan terms not detailed here). Retail investors should view grants as compensation actions rather than direct insider buying or selling.
