Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-05-06; Form 4 filed: 2026-05-08 (timely filing).
• Transaction type: Award/Grant of RSUs (derivative security), Code A on Form 4.
• Shares/units granted: 1,451 RSUs; per-RSU value at grant: $24.13; total ≈ $35,013.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the filing.
• Footnote: Each RSU converts to one common share upon vesting (vests on the anniversary of grant). Cash dividends on RSUs, if any, will be withheld and paid only upon vesting; dividends are subject to forfeiture to the same extent as the RSUs.

Context RSU grants to directors are a routine form of compensation and do not represent an open-market buy or sell. These units are contingent rights to future shares and vest over time (annually per the footnote), so they do not immediately increase tradable share holdings.
