Insights

Executive received performance-linked option and time‑delayed RSU awards.

The reporting person was granted a 284,125 performance stock option at a $8.93 exercise price with vesting tied to four sustained share‑price hurdles over a five‑year period, starting after one year. This links pay to long‑term stock performance rather than time alone.

The award also includes 55,433 RSUs that vest after one year but do not settle until the earlier of five years or termination, which delays share issuance and aligns retention incentives; the Form 4 shows 106,200 common stock equivalents following the transaction.
