TL;DR: CFO received equity tied to multi-year vesting, aligning pay with long-term tenure.

The 10,000 stock option grant and 4,000 stock award both vest in five equal annual installments starting 10/01/2026, which links a portion of the CFO's compensation to multi-year continued service and potential share-price performance.

The option's terms—$14.25 exercise price and 10/01/2035 expiration—provide a long window for exercise after vesting, preserving optionality for the reporting person.
