Context

• These grants are compensation awards (not purchases or sales) and are typically intended to align executive pay with company performance and stock appreciation. RSUs deliver shares upon vesting; SARs provide the right to receive value tied to future stock price appreciation once exercisable. Such awards are common and do not by themselves indicate the insider is buying or selling stock.
