Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

Director received fully vested RSUs increasing direct ownership by 728 shares.

The award of 728 RSUs that vest 100% immediately increases the director's direct stake by the same number of shares. Immediate vesting means there is no future service condition tied to these units; the director's beneficial ownership changes on 10/06/2025.

This transaction carries a standard delivery tax condition noted as "subject to applicable taxes upon delivery," which affects net share receipt timing and quantity. Monitor any filings that show actual share issuance or tax withholding in the days following 10/06/2025.
