What Happened

Key Details
- Transaction dates: RSU grant 02/26/2026; RSU vest/conversion and tax withholding 02/27/2026.
- Tax withholding: 13,724 shares withheld at $13.41 = $184,039 (listed as a disposition to cover tax liability).
- New award: 79,423 RSUs granted on 02/26/2026; these RSUs vest in three substantially equal annual installments (see footnote).
- Earlier award context: the vested 30,812 shares reflect a scheduled vesting from a Feb 27, 2025 RSU grant (3-year vesting schedule).

- Filing timeliness: Form filed 03/02/2026 reporting 02/26–02/27 transactions; the filing shows no special late-filing note.
Context
- These actions are RSU vesting/conversion and tax withholding, not an open-market sale by the insider. Withholding to cover taxes is a routine administrative disposition and does not necessarily indicate selling for investment reasons.
- The 79,423 RSU grant is a long-term award subject to continued employment through each vest date; purchases would carry more direct bullish signaling than awarded or withheld shares.
