Context
These are stock-equivalent compensation units awarded as board retainer, not an open-market purchase or sale. Such grants are routine director compensation and do not necessarily signal the director buying or selling stock in the market. The units convert to whole shares after the director’s service ends (with fractional amounts paid in cash).
