• Transaction date: 2026-02-09; Transaction type: Award/Grant (A). Amount: 11,331 PRSUs @ $0.00.
• Total cash value reported at grant: $0 (units are derivative awards, not a cash purchase).

• Footnotes: F1 — each PRSU converts to one share on vesting; F2 — the Compensation & Human Capital Committee certified partial achievement of performance metrics for PRSUs granted 2/17/2023; vesting was subject to continuous employment and scheduled for 2/17/2026; F3 — N/A.

Context PRSUs are conditional awards that convert to shares only if performance goals and service requirements are met; they do not indicate an immediate purchase of stock and thus are not the same signal as an insider buying shares on the open market. The committee’s certification of partial achievement triggered the reported award amount, but the actual issuance of shares depends on the stated vesting conditions.
