Insights

Routine dividend-equivalent credits tied to existing RSUs.

The filing records non-cash dividend equivalents that accrue on previously granted RSUs. Two tranches were credited on 10/17/2025: 299 and 630 units. Each dividend equivalent converts into one share of common stock when the related RSU vests.

Vesting follows the original RSU schedules: three equal installments on Mar 1, 2025, Mar 1, 2026, Mar 1, 2027 for the first tranche, and 1/3 on Mar 1, 2026 with 1/12 quarterly vesting thereafter to Mar 1, 2028 for the second. The listed price is $0, consistent with dividend-equivalent accrual mechanics.

This is administrative and typical for equity plans. Actual share delivery depends on RSU vesting under continued service.
