Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

8-K cross-references proxy and press release; no new compensation terms disclosed.

The filing does not publish new compensation figures but explicitly points investors to the company’s definitive proxy statement filed on March 24, 2025 for the full description of non-employee director compensation. This means the 8-K serves mainly as a notice linking existing disclosure rather than introducing new pay arrangements.

The 8-K also records a Press Release dated August 29, 2025 and indicates interactive XBRL tagging on the cover page. Investors seeking material changes to governance or director pay should consult the referenced proxy text; the 8-K itself contains limited substantive changes.
