• Transaction type: Purchase (P) — open market or private purchase.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Filing date: 2026-09-29 (filed four days after the transaction); Form 4s are typically due within two business days, so this may be a late filing.
• Footnote: The shares are held for the Ivan and Lori Brockman Trust, of which Mr. Brockman and his spouse are co-trustees and beneficiaries; he disclaims beneficial ownership except to the extent of his pecuniary interest.

Purchases by directors can be interpreted as a positive signal, though filings do not state the insider’s motivation.
