- Notable footnotes:

- PBRSUs: cliff-vesting on Dec 31, 2028 subject to continued service and performance (total shareholder return) vs. peers; payout may range from 0%–200% of target (F4, F6, F7).

Context
- These are equity compensation awards intended for future vesting; no immediate change in publicly tradable shares occurred at grant. Such awards are routine for executives and reflect compensation design rather than an open-market investment decision.
