Data Storage Corp disclosed an equity award to a director. The filing reports a grant of 10,000 restricted stock units to director Clifford Stein on January 29, 2026, as part of his compensation, with specific vesting terms tied to the 2026 annual meeting.

When do Clifford Stein’s DTST RSUs vest according to the filing?

Is the DTST Form 4 filing a purchase or sale of shares by Clifford Stein?

The filing reports an award, not an open-market trade. Stein received 10,000 restricted stock units at a price of $0 as director compensation, rather than buying or selling existing common shares in the market.
