Footnotes from the filing
Each deferred stock unit represents one share of common stock and is paid out in common stock upon the earliest to occur of (i) termination of Mr. Upadhyay's service on our board of directors, (ii) a change of control of our company and (iii) Mr. Upadhyay's disability or death.
Upon the vesting of restricted stock units granted to Mr. Upadhyay on May 1, 2025, Mr. Upadhyay deferred the receipt of 796 shares of common stock and received instead 796 deferred stock units pursuant to our deferred compensation plan. As a result, Mr. Upadhyay is reporting the disposition of 796 shares of common stock in exchange for an equal number of deferred stock units.
