Key Details

• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in this Form 4 filing.
• Footnotes: F1 = deferred stock units issued for quarterly retainer fees and dividends (each unit converts to one share upon the director’s retirement or termination); F2 indicates deferred stock units (F3 = RSUs, F4 = common stock). The reported award here is a deferred stock unit grant.
• Timeliness: Filing submitted May 5, 2026; this meets the two-business-day Form 4 filing requirement and appears timely.

Context Deferred stock units are a form of compensation deferral: they entitle the director to receive shares in the future (typically upon leaving the board) rather than immediate stock ownership or a market purchase. Such grants are routine compensation and do not by themselves indicate an insider buying or selling stock on the open market.
