Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-03-31; Form 4 filed 2026-04-01 (timely).
- Price per share reported on filing: $0.00 (reflecting conversion of awards, not a cash purchase).
- Shares reported acquired: 649; derivative units reported disposed: 649.
- Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the filing.
- Footnotes: F1–F4 explain these were RSUs granted 8/20/2025, each RSU converts to one share on settlement, vesting occurs in installments including 3/31/2026, and RSUs do not expire.
- No 10b5-1 plan, tax withholding, or late filing flag noted in the filing.
Context
- This is an award settlement (vesting) event — common compensation for directors and executives — rather than a market buy or sale, so it does not necessarily signal a change in insider market sentiment.
- The filing shows both the conversion (acquisition of common shares) and the termination/disposition of the underlying RSU derivative units upon settlement.
