Each director opens the passage of the proxy that names them. "Not stated" means the proxy does not say; it never means "no". Pay is the proxy's Director Compensation table; the CEO is paid as an executive. A director marked Joined was added by an 8-K; their row opens that 8-K, and a dash is a value it does not give.
Rather than show a list that might be incomplete, we show nothing. They are in the proxy filed Apr 2, 2026, in its related person transactions section.
