The company also issued a press release on February 9, 2026 announcing the closing of its IPO.
Key Details

- Director compensation: Under the company’s outside director policy, base retainer $40,000/year; additional committee and chair fees range from $5,000 to $30,000/year (details in Registration Statement). Dable received an indemnification agreement in the company’s standard form.

Why It Matters
- The filing documents board composition and governance changes tied to the company’s transition to a public company after its IPO. Investors should note the addition of an experienced industry executive (Dable), the director compensation and equity award terms, and the formal adoption of the company’s public‑company charter and bylaws—items that affect governance, dilution, and disclosure going forward. The IPO share count confirms the size of the offering and the underwriters’ exercise of their option.
