Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-09; reported on Form 4 filed 2026-02-11 (timely within the 2-business-day window).

Context

• SARs are a form of equity compensation that typically pay the holder the increase in share value (in cash or stock) after vesting; this grant does not represent an immediate market purchase or sale. Because the award vests over future years, it is a retention/compensation event rather than an immediate trading signal.
