Key Details

• Transaction date: February 26, 2026; Form 4 filed March 2, 2026 (filed within the reporting deadline).
• Amount and price: 4,590 RSUs acquired at $0.00 per unit (transaction code A — award/grant).
• Vesting: RSUs vest in three equal annual installments beginning February 26, 2027 (footnote).
• Footnote: Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of ALOT common stock upon vesting.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in this filing.

Context

• RSUs are a form of compensation that convert to actual shares only if and when they vest; they are not an immediate purchase or sale and therefore do not directly signal buying/selling intent. This grant appears to be a standard compensation/retention award with multi-year vesting, which can be dilutive when shares are issued upon vesting.
