Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

Director option grant of 30,000 shares aligns pay with long-term performance.

The filing documents a non-derivative grant: a stock option with a $12.05 exercise price and a standard service-based vesting schedule starting 11/01/2025. Such grants are commonly used to retain executives and directors by tying compensation to future share performance.

This option is exercisable through 09/30/2035, creating a long-term incentive window that links potential upside to long-term stock performance while requiring continued service to vest.
