Context
This was an equity award (RSUs) to a non-employee director, not an open-market purchase or sale. Deferred RSU grants are common for director compensation and do not necessarily indicate a buy/sell signal for investors; they represent a future right to receive shares subject to the plan’s payout conditions.
