Rhea-AI Filing Summary

The restricted share units vest in three equal annual installments starting one year after the grant date, subject to continued service. The stock options vest 25% on the first anniversary and 6.25% quarterly thereafter until fully vested, also contingent on continued service.

Upon vesting of restricted share units, 808 ordinary shares were sold at a weighted average price of $9.06, within a $9.00–$9.22 range, solely to cover estimated withholding taxes under automatic sale instructions, not as a discretionary trade.
