- Price reported: $0.00 for both awards (derivative awards, no cash paid).

- RSU vesting (footnote F2): 1/12th vests on June 1, 2026, then 1/12th of the remaining units vests quarterly on each Sep 1, Dec 1, Mar 1 and Jun 1 thereafter, subject to continued service.

- Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the provided excerpt of the filing.
Context
These are standard executive compensation grants: RSUs deliver shares based on continued service and a set vesting schedule, while PSUs depend on future performance targets (may pay out 0–200% of target). Such awards do not involve an immediate cash purchase or sale and are typical for aligning executive incentives with company performance; they are not a direct market signal like an open-market purchase or sale.
