Insights

Equity Compensation Analyst

Routine director option grant with time-based vesting.

This filing discloses a standard equity award: an option for 6,000 shares at an exercise price of $3.89, granted on 10/01/2025 and expiring on 10/01/2035. The price of the derivative is listed as $0, which aligns with a compensatory grant.

Vesting is time-based: one-third on each of 10/01/2026, 10/01/2027, and 10/01/2028. This staggers potential share delivery over three years and ties realization to continued service.

As of this report, 6,000 derivative securities are beneficially owned directly. No sale methods or cash proceeds are involved here; any future value depends on the market price relative to the $3.89 strike.
