• Award size: options covering 32,032 shares; reported price $0.00 (derivative).
• Vesting: four equal annual installments beginning June 3, 2027 (per footnote).
• Approval: grant was approved by the board June 3, 2026, subject to shareholder approval of an amendment to the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan; shareholders approved that amendment on September 23, 2026 (same day as grant).

Context

• This is a time‑vesting option award. Fischer does not immediately receive common shares; the options will vest over four years and would need to be exercised according to plan terms to convert into stock (and any exercise price or other exercise terms are governed by the company plan, as reflected in the grant documentation). Such awards are common for executive compensation and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling intent.
