• Transaction type: Award/Grant (code A). Shares granted: 45,731; price per share: $0.00; total reported value: $0.

Context
This was a compensation grant to a non-employee director under the company’s director compensation policy, not a market purchase or option exercise. Such awards reflect board/compensation practices rather than an immediate trading signal; they are commonly used to compensate directors for service. The late filing reduces timely public transparency but, per the footnote, was described as an inadvertent administrative error.
