Small equity grant to CEO with large insider ownership via spouse.

The board approved a compensation grant of 951 common shares to the CEO on 10/03/2025

The filing documents concentrated insider ownership: Mr. Lai directly holds 16,676,957 shares and is reported as indirectly holding the same amount through his spouse, totaling a combined family beneficial interest of 33,353,914 shares. High insider concentration can align management and shareholder interests but also centralizes voting power.
