Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-01-29 (Grant/Award, code A)
• Amount: 27,371 RSUs; reported price $0.00 (derivative award)
• Vesting: RSUs vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant (one-third per year) — per filing footnotes.
• Shares owned after the transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Filing: Form 4 filed 2026-02-02 for a 2026-01-29 grant — appears to be later than the usual two-business-day Form 4 deadline (check filing timeliness).

Context

• RSU grants are a form of compensation, not an open-market purchase or sale; they don’t necessarily indicate immediate insider buying/selling intent. When RSUs vest, they convert to shares (and may trigger tax withholding) — only then do they increase the insider’s reported share count.
