Context

• This grant is a standard restricted stock award (compensation/retention) and does not represent an open-market purchase or sale; such awards are common for executives and directors and do not by themselves indicate an immediate bullish or bearish personal market action. The shares will remain subject to vesting conditions until May 1, 2027.
