Insights

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Amendment corrects a typographical error in an insider filing; no new transactions or material changes disclosed.

The Form 4/A clarifies the count of derivative securities previously reported by the officer. From a governance perspective, timely correction of filing errors supports disclosure integrity and compliance with Section 16 reporting obligations. The amendment does not introduce additional grants, exercises, or dispositions beyond the originally reported option grant tied to 1,746 underlying shares. Impact on shareholders or corporate control is immaterial.

Executive Compensation Analyst

TL;DR: The filing documents a non-qualified option with a $34.28 strike and a staggered vesting schedule; amendment adjusts reported quantity only.

Key compensation facts: the option has an exercise price of $34.28, an exercisability start date of January 15, 2026, and an expiration of January 15, 2035. Vesting is 33.3% per year beginning January 15, 2026, implying full vesting over three years. The correction of the share count improves accuracy of reported potential dilution but does not change the structure or economics of the grant.
