restricted stock units financial
"the annual bonus award of restricted stock units"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
pro rata distribution financial
"received in a pro rata distribution"
A pro rata distribution is when a company or organization shares out money, assets, or benefits evenly among all eligible people based on their size or share. For example, if a company makes a profit and distributes it to shareholders, each person gets a portion proportional to how many shares they own. It ensures everyone gets their fair part based on their ownership or stake.
beneficial ownership regulatory
"disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
pecuniary interest financial
"except to the extent of his pecuniary interest"

Explanation of Responses:
1. On April 27, 2026, pursuant to Section 3(b) of the reporting person's Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement, the issuer agreed to grant the reporting person restricted stock units ("RSUs"), each representing a contingent right to receive one share of common stock upon vesting and having no expiration date, under the issuer's 2025 Incentive Compensation Plan as an annual bonus award. The number of RSUs was determined by dividing $1,200,000 by the April 27, 2026 closing price ($15.20), rounded down to the nearest whole share, and confirmed by resolution of the issuer's Board of Directors adopted September 23, 2026. The grant of the RSUs was previously reported on the reporting person's Form 4 filed on October 2, 2026. The RSUs vest in four substantially equal quarterly installments (19,737 RSUs on each of July 27, 2026, October 27, 2026 and January 27, 2027, and 19,736 RSUs on April 27, 2027), subject to continued employment on each vesting date.
