For the six months ended June 30, 2026, no restricted common shares were awarded to the Company’s Board of Directors and employees. For the year ended December 31, 2025, 488,283 restricted common shares with a weighted average grant date fair value of $4.78 were awarded to the Company’s management, employees, and Board of Directors.
