Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-12; Transaction type: Award/Grant (Code A); shares: 6,659; reported price: $0.00.
• Vesting: “Represents grant of time-based restricted stock units, which vest 25% on February 15, 2027, February 15, 2028, February 15, 2029 and February 2030.” (footnote from filing)
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing details.
• Filing timeliness: Form 4 filed 5 days after the transaction (filed Feb 17 for a Feb 12 grant); Form 4s are normally required within two business days, so this filing appears late per the usual SEC timing rules.

Context This was a time‑based RSU award (compensation), not an open‑market purchase or sale. RSUs are typically paid out (and taxed) when they vest; there was no immediate sale or exercise reported. Such grants are common executive compensation/retention tools and do not by themselves signal a buy or sell decision by the insider.
