Context

• DRSUs are deferred equity awards that typically convert to stock (or cash equivalent) upon vesting; these DRSUs give Aldag economic exposure similar to holding shares once vested. The granted stock options will require exercise (and may have an exercise price not specified in the supplied filing) after vesting to obtain shares.
• This is an executive compensation grant intended for retention/incentive and is not a market purchase or sale—such awards are common and do not by themselves indicate immediate buying or selling sentiment.
