Insights
Director elected to defer 628.6 shares under the company plan on 10/01/2025.
This Form 4 documents an internal compensation election rather than an open-market trade: the reporting person deferred receipt of awards under the 2021 Incentive Award Plan, recorded at $0. That treatment is customary for deferred equity awards which convert compensation into future stock holdings.
The filing also discloses that reinvested dividends were credited on July 9, 2025, which explains part of the 23,641.85 shares now reported as beneficially owned. The transaction does not indicate sale or disposition activity.
Deferral reflects use of the company’s incentive plan, not a cash purchase or sale.
The report shows a non‑derivative award deferral (code V) with 628.6 shares added to the reporting person’s holdings at $0 cost. This is a bookkeeping entry consistent with deferred equity compensation programs.
The inclusion of reinvested dividends credited on July 9, 2025 is itemized, clarifying how the total beneficial ownership reached 23,641.85 shares.
