Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-02-20; Form 4 filed 2026-02-24 (filed within the normal reporting window).
- Shares converted/acquired: 614,229 RSUs converted to shares (375,000 + 125,000 + 114,229).
- Shares withheld for taxes: 201,733 shares at $1.72 per share = $346,981.
- Net shares delivered to Ghamsari (after withholding): approximately 412,496 shares (614,229 − 201,733).

Context
- These were RSU conversions (derivative/award activity). The withheld shares to satisfy tax liabilities indicate a net issuance/cashless-type settlement common when RSUs vest—this is routine and does not by itself indicate a buy or sell decision in the open market.
- Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative (RSU conversion), F = payment of exercise price or tax liability (shares withheld). The filing appears timely.
