• Vesting: Award vests in four equal annual installments beginning May 29, 2027 (see F1).
• Holdings: Filing notes the award includes unvested restricted stock (F2).
• Correction: The filing reduces previously reported beneficial ownership by 7 shares due to an inadvertent overstatement on the Form 4 filed March 17, 2026 (F3).

Context This transaction is a typical equity compensation grant for an executive and does not involve buying or selling on the open market. Restricted shares awarded at $0 are common for employee compensation and generally vest over time, aligning the executive’s incentives with long-term shareholder performance. The filing corrects a prior minor overstatement of seven shares and discloses outstanding performance-based awards with longer vesting conditions.
