Insights

Equity compensation analyst

Neutral Form 4: PSUs earned; vesting continues.

The reporting officer received 3,279 common shares at $0 upon achievement of PSU targets on Oct 17, 2025. The award remains subject to time-based vesting, with the same 3,279 shares scheduled to vest on Oct 26, 2029, per the award agreement.

This reflects standard equity compensation mechanics (performance met, then time vest). Beneficial ownership stands at 134,722 direct shares, plus 858 indirect by spouse. Cash-flow impact is not indicated because the transaction price is $0.

Potential effects depend on future vesting and continued service under the plan. Subsequent disclosures may detail additional vesting events or changes in beneficial ownership.
