• Award: 130,293 stock options; reported price $0.00 (derivative security).
• Vesting: Options vest in four equal annual installments beginning June 3, 2027 (per filing footnote).
• Approval: Grant was approved by the board on June 3, 2026, contingent on a shareholder amendment to the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan; shareholders approved that amendment on September 23, 2026 (same day as the grant).

Context This was an equity compensation award (stock options) rather than a share purchase or sale. The options will vest over time, so they do not represent immediately tradable shares. The filing does not state an exercise price or intrinsic value; those details may appear in the company’s proxy or equity plan disclosures. This type of award is common for executives and is compensatory rather than a direct market signal.
