Insights
Director deferred equity award; ownership increased to 4,478.02 shares.
The Form 4 discloses a non-cash acquisition of 628.6 shares under the company's 2021 Incentive Award Plan due to an election to defer receipt. This is a common mechanism for directors to defer compensation into equity rather than receive immediate shares or cash.
The filing was executed by an attorney-in-fact on 10/03/2025, and shows a post-transaction beneficial ownership of 4,478.02 shares. Because the transaction was recorded with a price of $0, it reflects a plan election rather than an open-market purchase or sale.
Transaction is routine and non‑market-moving based on disclosed facts.
The report indicates an award deferral (transaction code A) rather than a purchase or sale; no cash consideration was reported. The fractional share amounts (628.6 acquired; 4,478.02 held) are consistent with plan allocations or pro rata calculations.
There are no disclosed sales, option exercises, or derivative activities in this filing that would materially change outstanding exposure beyond the stated beneficial ownership.
