Context

• This was a deferred-stock award (not an immediate purchase or sale). Deferred awards are compensation-related and typically reflect director pay rather than a direct signal about personal trading conviction. The shares are recorded as a derivative award and will convert to common stock according to the settlement terms when the director leaves the board.
