Additional Context

Transaction Notes

• Special Circumstances: The filing footnote specifies these are Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) that vest in full on October 29, 2026, contingent upon the director's continued service. This is not an immediate acquisition of freely tradable shares.
• Market Environment: This is a standard compensation practice regardless of the broader market environment.
