Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Director received customary non-employee equity awards and reported an acquisition of 442 shares, increasing holdings to 9,543 shares.

The Form 4 discloses routine director compensation in the form of restricted stock units and a reported acquisition coded M for 442 shares at no cash price, consistent with equity vesting/conversion or plan issuance. The filing identifies two plan-based awards: one under the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan that vested with the 2025 annual meeting and a 2025 Stock Incentive Plan award that vests at the 2026 annual meeting. For investors, these are standard governance-alignment grants rather than open-market purchases; the reported post-transaction beneficial ownership of 9,543 shares provides a clear snapshot of the director's stake after these events.

Corporate Governance Expert
