Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-03; filing date: 2026-09-08 (appears timely given the Labor Day holiday).
• Price per share: $27.64; Total value: $1,797.
• Shares acquired: 65.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnote F1: the shares represent exempt dividend equivalents on prior deferred stock unit awards and restricted stock unit awards.
• Transaction type: Award/credit of shares (Code A), not a sale or market purchase.

Context

• Dividend-equivalent credits are routine: they convert dividend amounts tied to prior deferred or restricted stock unit awards into shares rather than representing a purchase or trading view.
• The amount is modest in dollar terms and the filing does not indicate 10% owner status; as a director, this is standard compensation-related equity credit rather than directional insider trading.
