Insights

Equity compensation analyst

Routine mix of phantom share grants, vesting and a modest stock sale.

The activity centers on compensation-related instruments. Tony Kim received 20,534.0483 phantom shares on January 30, 2026, plus conversions of earlier phantom awards into the same number of common shares. Phantom shares mirror common stock value but are settled in cash on vesting.

He then sold 15,580.1688 common shares at $22.38, while remaining directly holding 208,712 common shares afterwards. The filing reflects ongoing vesting and partial monetization of awards, typical for an investment professional, and does not by itself signal a change in the BSTZ investment thesis.
