All transactions show a $0.00 per-share price and $0 total value on the Form 4.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-05; Form 4 filed 2026-03-09 (timely filing).
• Derivative exercise/conversion (M): 22,322 shares acquired @ $0.00 and 22,322 shares disposed @ $0.00 (same-day disposition).
• Grant/award (A): 9,434 shares (deferred/restricted) granted @ $0.00.
• Shares owned after transaction: not reported on this filing.
• Footnotes: F1 = deferred stock units granted for director service; F2 = annual RSU grant that vests by the earlier of ~1 year or just before next annual meeting (per filing).
• No cash purchase or sale value reported — these were conversions/grants rather than market buys or cash proceeds.

Context
Transaction code M denotes an exercise or conversion of a derivative; because the 22,322 shares were acquired and disposed on the same date, the position was not held long-term (commonly a cashless exercise or immediate disposition, though the filing doesn't state the reason). The 9,434 shares are deferred/restricted units that will vest per the footnote schedule and do not indicate an immediate open‑market purchase or sale.
