Notice signals an insider sale tied to compensation vesting, not a market-moving corporate action.

The filing lists 2,075 common shares as securities to be sold in connection with restricted stock vesting on 02/23/2026. This is a compensation-related transaction rather than a change in company capital structure.

Cash‑flow treatment and planned sale mechanics are not detailed in the excerpt; subsequent trade reports or Form 4/144 amendments would clarify execution, timing, and proceeds.
