Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-07-01; Filing date (Accession): 2026-07-06. The Form 4 was filed five days after the transaction date (appears to be late relative to the standard two-business-day Form 4 deadline).
• Shares/units received: 4,507.873 common stock equivalents at $12.94 each; total reported value $58,332.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided excerpt of the filing.
• Footnotes of note:
  • F1: Some shares are held by a trust for the benefit of the reporting person’s spouse; the transfer to the trust changed form of indirect ownership only.
  • F2: The award reflects director retainer deferred into Issuer common stock equivalents under the company’s Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors. These equivalents are credited quarterly as earned.
  • F3: The common stock equivalents have no fixed exercisable or expiration dates and are distributed in common stock on a one-for-one basis upon the director’s retirement from the board.

Context: This was a deferred-compensation stock-equivalent award (derivative), not a market purchase or sale. Such director retainer deferrals are routine compensation and do not necessarily signal a change in the director’s view of the company’s near-term prospects.
