• Instrument and amount: 848 shares (performance stock units) recorded at $0.00 per share; total reported acquisition value $0.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing.
• Footnote: The award was originally granted February 24, 2023; the Compensation Committee has now determined the performance criteria were achieved. The award remains subject to a holding period through December 31, 2027.

Context

• These are performance-based stock units (not a market purchase or sale). The Committee’s determination converted the prior conditional award into shares (subject to the holding period), which does not necessarily imply buying or selling activity by the insider. Retail investors should view this as a compensation/vesting event rather than a direct market signal.
