The awards are reported as derivative acquisitions at $0.00 per unit (i.e., awarded compensation rather than an open‑market purchase). The filing shows the grants were reported on February 19, 2026.

Key Details

  • Transaction date: 2026-02-18; Form 4 filed: 2026-02-19 (timely filing).
  • Awards: 4,148 RSUs and 16,413 RSUs — total 20,561 RSUs; reported price $0.00 (award).
  • Vesting: Each RSU is a contingent right to one share. Vesting is one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Feb 18, 2026 grant date (annual vesting over three years), subject to continued service and certain acceleration events. Dividend equivalent units were automatically issued on the RSUs. (See F1, F2, F3.)
  • Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
  • Transaction code: A = Award/Grant (derivative). No indication of a 10b5-1 plan, tax withholding sale, or late filing in the provided details.

Context
RSU grants are a common form of executive compensation and are different from open‑market purchases or sales — they represent a right to receive shares in the future if vesting conditions are met. Because these are awards (not purchases), they should be viewed as compensation rather than a direct bullish or bearish trading signal.
