Context These RSUs are deferred compensation for a non‑employee director and represent future rights to common stock (payable upon death, disability, or cessation of board service). Such grants are routine director compensation and do not necessarily signal a buy/sell view by the director since payout is tied to service events and the company’s deferred compensation plan.
