• Filing date: 2026-05-05 (four days after the reported transaction). Form 4s are typically due within two business days, so this filing appears later than usual.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing.
• Footnotes:

Context This was a restricted stock grant (compensation/award), not an open-market purchase or sale. Such awards are common for directors and typically represent compensation tied to continued service; they do not by themselves signal buying or selling sentiment. The one-year cliff vesting means the shares are subject to forfeiture until May 1, 2027.
