Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-15; filing date (Form 4): 2026-04-17 (appears timely).
• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (Code A).
• Shares acquired: 600; reported purchase price: $0.00; total reported value: $0.

Context

• This was a restricted stock award (grant), not an open-market purchase or sale. Vesting means the shares are subject to forfeiture until they vest and are not an immediate liquidity event.
• Such director awards are common as compensation/retention and do not by themselves indicate the insider is buying or selling stock for market-timing reasons.
