Positive

• Performance‑based vesting: 5,000 options vested after meeting two project milestones, showing measured payout tied to goals

Negative

• Exercise prices above current market may be required: Options have exercise prices of $14.2 and $27, which could delay or limit economic gain until share price increases

The filing records that Daniel Coyle, the COO, directly owns 37 common shares and holds options covering 25,000 underlying shares with stated exercise prices of $14.2 and $27. The larger option (20,000) vests quarterly over three years from 10/22/2024, and a performance‑based grant originally for 10,000 has 5,000 vested due to two met milestones.
