Context

• Director awards are a routine part of compensation and do not necessarily signal the director’s view of near-term stock performance. The filing indicates the grant was an annual unrestricted share award, while also noting 2,812 RSUs in holdings; RSUs typically vest over time, whereas unrestricted shares are owned immediately.
