Key Details
- Transaction date: March 15, 2026; Form 4 filed March 17, 2026 (filed within the typical 2-business-day window).

- Vesting and performance notes:
- RSUs (254,200): one-sixteenth vests May 15, 2026, then quarterly vesting over the following four years, subject to continued employment.
- PRSUs (84,750): performance measured separately for fiscal 2026–2028; one-third of the PRSUs tied to each fiscal year with threshold/target/max resulting in 50%/100%/200% of target vesting for that year. Any PRSUs earned for a performance period remain subject to continued service-based vesting through the end of the three-year period. If approved by the Compensation Committee as earned, PRSUs will settle on March 15, 2029.
- No indication of a 10b5-1 plan, tax withholding sale, or late filing in this report.
Context
- These grants are compensation awards: RSUs convert to shares only upon vesting; PRSUs convert only if performance goals are met and service conditions satisfied. Such awards are common executive compensation and do not represent a personal cash purchase or sale. If/when RSUs/PRSUs vest and settle, they may result in share issuance (dilution) and potential insider sales later, but this filing only reports the grant.
