Insights
TL;DR: Insider received dividend equivalents as RSUs, modestly increasing reported holdings; transaction appears routine and non‑cash.
The Form 4 shows the reporting person acquired dividend equivalents credited as restricted share units tied to prior equity grants dated March 10 in 2023, 2024 and 2025. All transactions are coded A and recorded at $0.00, indicating non‑cash accruals rather than open‑market purchases or option exercises.
