• Prices shown: Grants and conversions recorded at $0.00 (typical for RSU grants and conversions). A concurrent disposition of 2,703 shares is listed at $0.00 in the filing.
• Shares owned after the transactions: not specified in the provided filing details.
• Footnotes: F1 = vesting of RSUs; F2 = RSUs convert one-for-one into common stock; F3 = the Feb 10, 2026 grant vests Feb 10, 2027; F4 = the RSUs that vested did so on Feb 11, 2026.

Context

• These entries reflect RSU activity (award and vesting/conversion), not an open-market buy or sale. The conversion and immediate disposition at $0.00 often indicates share surrender or withholding to satisfy tax obligations rather than a market sale, but the filing does not specify the reason.
• The new RSU grant (2,297) is a forward-looking award that vests next year (Feb 10, 2027) per the filing.
