Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-04-20; Form filed: 2026-04-22 (filed within typical two‑business‑day window).
- Award size: 40,000 shares (derivative securities). Price shown on the Form: $0.00 per share.
- Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the Form 4 filing.
- Footnote: Award is described as an option that vests one‑third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date; full vesting may accelerate if the reporting person is terminated without cause or for good reason within six months following a defined “change in control.”
- No indication in the filing of a sale, exercise for cash, tax withholding event, or a 10b5‑1 plan.
Context

The award will vest over up to three years per the stated schedule; any economic interest depends on the award type (option vs. RSU) and future exercise/vesting events, which may be detailed in the underlying award agreement rather than the Form 4.
