The officer reported acquisition of 5,633 shares at $0, stemming from performance stock units whose target criteria were met on October 28, 2025. This reflects the accounting recognition of earned PSUs rather than an open-market purchase.

Per the terms, 60% of the PSUs remain time-based and are scheduled to vest on October 1, 2026, contingent on continued service or possible acceleration under the award agreement. Cash outlay is not indicated, consistent with stock-based awards.

This is an administrative disclosure typical for executive compensation. Actual share issuance over time will depend on the vesting schedule specified in the award agreement.
