• The RSU grant vests on May 7, 2027. The open-market purchase is an outright acquisition of common stock (purchase code P).

Key Details

• Dates and prices: RSU award on 2026-05-07 (25,270 RSUs, $0.00 reported) and purchase on 2026-05-08 (10,000 shares, weighted avg $8.32; actual trades ranged $8.30–$8.32). (Footnotes F1, F2)
• Total reported cash spent on the purchase: $83,200.
• Purchase was made by a trust of which Lucier is trustee and beneficiary; he disclaims beneficial ownership except to the extent of his pecuniary interest (Footnote F3).
• Shares owned after the transactions are not specified in this filing.
• Filing date: 2026-05-11 (the Form 4 was filed covering the 5/7–5/8 transactions).

Context

• The RSUs are a grant that will convert to shares only upon vesting next year; such awards are compensation-related rather than an immediate market vote.
• The open-market purchase is a direct buy of stock (often considered more informative by investors than awards), but filings are factual disclosures and do not explain the purchaser’s motive.
