Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-01-16 — Award/acquisition (code A) of 132 RSUs at $0.00 per share.
• Filing date: 2026-01-21 (timely relative to the transaction).
• Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in the provided filing.
• Footnote F1: These are Dividend Equivalent RSUs tied to previously reported RSU awards under the 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan. Dividend Equivalent RSUs granted with respect to vested RSUs are fully vested at grant; those tied to unvested RSUs vest when the underlying RSUs vest (typically at the company’s next annual meeting).
• No 10b5‑1 plan, tax‑withholding, or sale codes were reported in the provided data.

Context
Dividend Equivalent RSUs mirror cash dividend payments by converting dividend amounts into additional RSUs; they are a form of compensation rather than an open‑market purchase or sale. Such awards are common for directors and do not necessarily signal a change in an insider’s view of the company. If the granted units are vested at grant, the insider effectively owns the shares immediately; if not, they will vest on the schedule described in the footnote.
