Insights

TL;DR: Insider received RSUs and had an option repriced to market, with vesting schedules preserved.

The filing discloses a compensation-related equity grant and an adjustment to an outstanding option's exercise price that aligns the strike with the market price on 09/01/2025. The RSU grant establishes time-based retention through scheduled vesting. The option adjustment did not alter expiration or vesting, indicating a mechanical repricing rather than a new grant. These actions are routine for executive compensation but are material to insider alignment with shareholder interests because they change potential future dilution timing and strike economics.

TL;DR: Director/officer adds 10,000 RSUs and holds 8,333 re-priced options; total beneficial ownership now 70,990 shares.

The report shows acquisition of 10,000 RSUs and conversion of an option position such that 8,333 options now carry a $3.33 exercise price effective 09/01/2025 with an unchanged 09/23/2030 expiration and original vesting schedule. The filing also notes a disposal/adjustment of the prior $6.00 option. The disclosed holdings and changes are specific and verifiable from the filing and are notable for modeling potential future share issuance upon vesting or exercise.
