Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-18; Reported price: $0.00 per RSU (award/grant, code A).
• Units granted: 276,558 RSUs; vesting: 33% each anniversary starting 2026-02-18 (see footnote F1).
• Shares owned/controlled after transaction: Form 4 notes 9,665,342 shares held by PAVentures II, LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Peck (footnote F2). The RSUs are contingent rights separate from these holdings.
• Filing: Form 4 filed 2026-02-20 (within the typical two-business-day reporting window). Exhibit 24 (Power of Attorney) was included.

Context

• RSUs are a compensation award (a contingent claim to future shares) and do not represent an immediate open‑market purchase or sale. They convert to ordinary shares only as they vest, so they are not an immediate liquidity event and should be viewed as part of executive pay rather than a short-term trading signal.
