Context These are compensation awards, not open-market purchases or sales. Such grants are commonly used for retention and performance incentives and do not necessarily indicate the executive’s personal buying/selling sentiment. The derivative award carries time-based vesting, so economic ownership and the ability to exercise will occur over the next three years per the schedule in Footnote F3.
